	Accept 'One Canada Square' and it should be 'North Yorkshire' rather than 'West Yorkshire'.

	bruten:	Jan 15th, 2011 at 12:35 GMT	5 points
	Accept Queen Elizabeth 2 for the monarch and Commons and Lords for the houses. Also, could shorten time. Otherwise very good quiz!!!!!

	and "Conservative Liberal Democrat Coalition" isn't a party.

	flixuk:	Jan 15th, 2011 at 13:19 GMT	4 points
	and England does not have its own Prime Minister. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland do, but England doesn't.

	Elizabeth isnt the Queen of England, there is no such thing as the Queen of England, same as Prime Minister

	dancastro:	Jan 15th, 2011 at 21:57 GMT	1 point
	For the longest serving PM, I tried all the historical names that I remembered, that probably are also the best known for everybody: Pitt, Disraeli, Gladstone, Peel and obviously Churchill. None of these was. Unlike Queen Victoria, seemingly in this case the fame isn't proportional to the duration of office.

	This is a bit of a weird quiz. Most of those things are really about the UK rather than England specifically. Calling the Queen the "Queen of England" is kind of like calling Obama the president of Texas.

	dancastro:	Jan 15th, 2011 at 23:30 GMT	1 point
	@Psyk: of course "the Queen of England" is incorrect, but I think that unfortunately common and less educated people call her so in many parts of the world (at least "la reina de Inglaterra" is usual in Spanish-speaking countries). Unlike Texas (that is large but still a small portion of the USA), England has the majority of area and population of the UK. Similar cases are that of the Netherlands (also incorrectly being called "Holland" because North and South Holland are the largest and most populated provinces, if we take them together) and the former USSR that was commonly referred to as "Russia".

	Oh dear flixuk, England is actually a country. It's not a nation, the internationally recognised nation state is the United Kingdom. Oh and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland don't have separate Prime Ministers, they have First Ministers.

	chriskotx:	Jan 16th, 2011 at 00:05 GMT	0 points
	(barely restraining reaction to "Obama president of Texas" and "Texas....small portion of USA.")

	Who's George Osbourne?

	dancastro:	Jan 16th, 2011 at 02:00 GMT	2 points
	@chriskotx: England has a little more than half the area of the UK. Texas has only 7% of the area of the USA. So I was speaking relatively. A small portion of Bill Gates' fortune is still a lot of money...

	dancastro you are a wonderful diplomat. I feel much better, thanks. :)

	paddius_the_3rd:	Jan 16th, 2011 at 12:57 GMT	-1 points
	It is correct that the Prime Minister and Queen are that of the UK but it fits the form of Quiz that Sporcle has done. Sorry about the North Yorkshire Problem I didn't read the atlas correctly. I have also changed it back to Conservatives for Primary Party but I thought comments would be made about that..

	@Sparklepop George osbourne is the UK equivalent of the Treasurer of the US @British_Rebel quiz done by Sporcle was about the UK not England

	bwouns:	Jan 16th, 2011 at 20:38 GMT	2 points
	Isn't Osbourne the equivalent of the Secretary of the Treasury rather than the Treasurer of the US?

	paddius_the_3rd:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 18:06 GMT	1 point
	Sorry bwouns don't really know to be honest. Probably right though I'm not up on all of the US political positions. Yes then Secretary of the Treasury but you get the general idea.

	The proper name is 'The Conservative Party' Monarchs don't serve, they reign

	JoshyW:	Sep 18th, 2011 at 13:52 GMT	1 point
