![]() The British Isles Government is a fantastic piece of work, heavily modelled on the real British System. The government, like many of it’s contemporaries all along the NationStates world is separated into three different branches. The Branches however are tightly interwoven and without one branch, the government could very well possibly crumble. Each branch has it’s role however, and it often does not stray from the role it has. The branches, of course, are Judicial, Legislative and the Executive. The Executive is probably the branch of government with the highest concentration of power within the individuals who reside within it. The Executive Branch consists of the Prime Minister and his Cabinet, along with the Monarch(s). The Executive has also been heralded as a blunt force of the British Isles. Serving as the public eye of the Isles, the executive consists of a Ministry of the Home, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Defense and a Ministry of Foreign and Commonwealth Offices. The Ministry of the Home is the main architect of government development within the Isles. While the Ministry of Culture is the side architect of government activities within the Isles, the MoC has organized multiple parades and concerts. The Ministry of Defense, coupled with the Ministry of Foreign and Commonwealth Offices are the public faces of the British Isles. The Defensive Ministry is responsible for the handling of the Royal Navy and deterring foreign military powers from acting against the British Isles. The Foreign Offices serve as the pen to the sword of the Defense Ministry, they are responsible for handling ambassadorships and working with other regions to get diplomatic activities completed. Another branch of the British Isles Government is the Legislative Branch. Formed of an elected House of Commons and a Monarch Appointed House of Lords. The House of Commons and House of Lords are formed every two months when an election is held. In an election, members put their name forward for the House of Commons and an election is held, the five individuals who win the elections with the most votes are sent into the House of Commons. The Monarch, with a little advice from the Prime Minister also chooses 5 individuals to be in the House of Lords. These individuals are appointed by the Monarch themselves and come about in no other fashio. The legislative process works in which a bill is sent into either house, that house must debate and vote on it, if it loses, it’s killed, if it passes, it goes to the other house and is debated and voted. If it loses, it’s sent back to the other house for review, if it passes, it’s sent to the Monarch for assent. The final branch of British Isles is the Judicial Portion. Consisting of a Lord Chief Justice and two Associate Justices. All are appointed by the Monarch with advice from the acting Prime Minister. Justices are responsible for judging cases in the court of law. Nearly anything can be challenged in British Isles court, constitutionality of law to a case of slander. The Courts are extremely straightforward. The entire system employe by the Isles has received harsh criticism for it’s lack of democratic methods. Out of approximately 17 Major Positions, only 5 of them are directly elected by the people, the rest are appointed by the Prime Minister and/or Monarch. An interesting method to governance exists within the British Isles. The success of said system has not really been tested for a prolonged period of time, but everyone in the hierarchy of The British Isles government to the common citizens hope that it does succeed.

As I've pointed out to you in the chat, a third alternative is to make the major positions be elected by a people's candidate, and have the executive in question have the ability to accept or reject them whilst still maintaining the ability of the executive to appoint the offices at their own pleasure. You can establish a notion of popular mandate, and the executive keeps their power; although, I'd argue to utilize a system other than first past the post. |

Honestly, I personally believe some change of the system would be very good. I was and still am in favour of a Democratic HoL. However, I am the minority. The current citizens are happy with the status quo. |

You could promote the aforementioned approach as a middle ground where both sides win. |

Honestly, the debate died a long time ago, we're preparing an expansion of the House of Commons, which will open more democratic positions. The non-democratic position were the ones that needed to be undemocratic and the House of Lords. The middle ground would've probably been rejected, because it's not "british" enough. |

Interesting, well, I'll consider your idea, I might push it if I can see enough support with the Isles. |

Our region reflects as best it can a British theme, hence we follow a Westminster system, and although there was some debate about our system the last election results seemed to point towards a continuation with our current system. |

What? I was referring to the people's candidate idea, which would fit the criteria of a CM. Heck, a Monarch under a CM can have less power than the Emperor of Japan, and still be a CM.
