Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

3 branches are executive, legislative and judicial. The president is the head of the executive branch, congress legislative.
Thanks for the explanation.
Well gosh, I've had to go and read up on it too ๐
Looks like we both have the same 3 branches, but I was wrong in thinking the house of commons and lords were 2 of those branches.
In a perhaps slightly simplistic overview:
Legislative - debates and decides the laws.
Executive - executes or implements these laws in policy decisions (assigning funds to public bodies etc, setting mission statements)
Judicial - interprets the implementation of laws when needed (e.g. edge cases)
Executive, Legislature and Judiciary. In the UK, the executive comprises the Crown and the Government, including the Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers. The legislature; Parliament, comprises the Crown, the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
Also seems like the UK independence of legislature and executive branch is up to debate -https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powers_in_the_United_Kingdom
