In the UK "government" is generally taken to mean the executive who are also part of the legislature (parliament), but not judiciary. UK Judiciary separation appears to be far stronger than in the US viewed from here in the UK.

Ah, I didn't know that. Well both HN and Github are US sites, not UK, so the title is accurate in this context.

"English speaking world" is a tad wider than US specific - many of whom stick with a variation on the Westminster model. ;)

From the context of this subthread seems like the Spanish think of government as executive and legislature, with judiciary separate too.
