The UK is a parliamentary democracy, parliament is the government. Even in the US, Congress can compel testimony over matters it has authority to legislate.

- nicky0 8y agoNo, parliament is not the govenmnent. At least, in the UK when we say Government, we refer to the executive body (prime minister, cabinet etc.). In the US when you say government, you mean the whole thing. So your wanting to correct me stems from your using the US meaning of the word and me meaning the British one.
