This is a UK General Election. That means you're voting for MPs to represent you at Westminster. Westminster is responsible for 'reserved' matters in the UK that affect all UK nations (England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales). These include defence, immigration, benefits and social security*, broadcasting, employment, equal opportunities, foreign policy and trade & industry.
*Some welfare powers are being transferred to the Scottish Government
