Use the excerpt to answer the question.
“Mr Lukashenko, who has been in power for 18 years, is banned from travelling to the United States and western Europe. He has been accused of torture and human rights abuses—he has thrown his opponents in prison, banned protests and restricted freedom of expression. . . . There is no presidential term limit here [Belarus] and the 1996 referendum consolidated Mr Lukashenko’s power. Not a single election in Belarus has been deemed as free or fair by the West. Not a single opposition candidate won a seat in the recent, parliamentary vote. Protests have been violently supressed.”

: Monarchy is the oldest form of government in the United Kingdom. In a monarchy, a king or queen is Head of State. The British Monarchy is known as a constitutional monarchy. This means that, while The Sovereign is Head of State, the ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament.
:The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty which extends the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that commits state parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, based on the scientific consensus that (part one) global warming is occurring and (part two) it is extremely likely that human-made CO2 emissions have predominantly caused it. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan on 11 December 1997 and entered into force on 16 February 2005. There are currently 192 parties (Canada withdrew from the protocol, effective December 2012)[4] to the Protocol.

16 I would pick British economy because it was the first country to industrialize and its economy relies on research, innovation, and financial services. They have a really strong market orientation for their mixed economy. There are some private ownerships of industries and people pay some university cost. I would also pick British because it was on the allies team in World War 2.
17 Great Britain is a constitutional monarchy while Germany is a parlimentary democracy. Britain has a king or queen as the symbol of head of state while Germany has presedent as head of state. They are both democratic with a two house legislation. They also have a balance of power and a head of goverment.
18 One reason a country would want to be in the EU because of free trade between members and a common currency.One reason a country would not want to join the EU because EU officials are not elected, so they dont always represent everyone.
19 Immigration has caused controversy in the recent years because Immigrations often have less education and because of the lack of housing and funding of healthcare.

16. I said I would choose the German economy because, it has a good developed market economy and unlike the British economy it is the 4TH LARGEST economy in the world!!! They have one of the highest standards of living in the world.
17. I said Great Britain has a Queen as there leader (Queen Elizabeth the second).Which is chosen by birth right.While Germany has a president as there leader (Frank-Walter Steinmeier).Which is chosen by the people of Germany. Germany and Great Britain have a few things in common like for instance they both have a good developed market economy.
18. I said I think the reasoning of them joining the European Union would be because it could have better jobs there, they could have nicer roads, they could have a better government, they could have a better economy. Those are some pro's and now here are some con's on why they decide not to join, they could have awful roads, they could have bad laws, they could have a bad leader, they could not have much jobs available.
19. I said Because it could make people mad about people leaving Europe because it could reck the great reputation that Europe has.
