Germany and Great Britain have different political systems and structures of government.
Germany has a federal parliamentary republic, where power is divided between the federal government and the states. The head of state is the President, who has a largely ceremonial role, while the head of government is the Chancellor, who is the leader of the majority party or coalition in the Bundestag (the lower house of parliament). The Bundestag is the primary legislative body in Germany, while the Bundesrat represents the states in the legislative process.
In contrast, Great Britain has a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system. The head of state is the monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II, who has a largely ceremonial role. The head of government is the Prime Minister, who is the leader of the majority party in the House of Commons (the lower house of parliament). The House of Lords is the upper house of parliament and serves as a revising chamber for legislation.
Overall, Germany's government is more decentralized and federal in nature compared to Great Britain's more centralized and unitary system. Additionally, Germany has a written constitution, the Basic Law, while Great Britain's constitution is largely unwritten and based on precedent and tradition.
