Sorry, Bernie - I knew what you meant - it was a feeble-minded attempt at
wit. :-) No, we don't have a congress in the UK - it would be far too
republican, as in 'like a republic', rather than the party. We have a
several hundred year-old parliamentary system involving the 'House of
Commons' and 'House of Lords'. Positively medieval, but there you go.
Although we don't have a president, our prime minister (whoever they are)
might as well be one, so we're spared two lots of elections every four
years.
