“The Queen’s Speech is closest the UK has to some kind of State of the Union address. In the speech, delivered by the Queen in all her archaic royal splendor, the government of the day sets out its legislative agenda for the coming year. Press and politicians alike analyze every line of the short speech, working out what was and was not included, and hence what will be the government’s priorities for the next 12 months.”
