From the Paper:

"Britain is considered to be a liberal-democracy, whereby individuals select to vote for a candidate whose beliefs and values reflect their own (or, due to limited choice, are closest). The party who are seen to represent the majority or have the most votes (these are not necessarily the same thing) are then expected to lead the government forward and to develop policy in accordance with the values set out in their manifesto and in the interests of the public."
