Yes they do. It's just not written down anywhere.

And WTF has that got to do with our political system and how useless 
politicians are voted into power.

Bullshit.
The biggest difference is that we have a Monarch as head of state who holds 
no real power. We have a Prime Minister as head of government who actually 
runs the place. The US has a President who is head of state as well as head 
of government and has real power.
The only thing we have in common with the US is that we get to vote on our 
senators.
