The Judiciary of England and Wales disagrees with you. See:
http://www.judiciary.gov.uk/about-th...d-constitution
Where it says " The justice system is one of the three branches of the state. The other two branches are the executive, or the government, and the legislature, which is the two Houses of Parliament. In most democracies these three branches of the state are separate from each other." [emphasis added] |
That confirms what Harry said, not refutes it.
The justice system and the government are separate, both parts of the state, but the justice system is not part of the government.
