Prince Hunter of Bavaria Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The United Kingdoms of Greater Francia has a parliamentary government based on the French Constitution. Parliament is situated at The Palais du Luxembourg for the Senat and the Palais Bourbon for the Assemblee Nationale. When they are seated together at the Palace of Versaille they are collectively called Congrès du Parlement français Head of State The Head of State is the reigning Monarch who is designated by the Royal Family. As Head of State, The Monarch undertakes constitutional and representational duties which have developed over one thousand years of history. In addition to these State duties, The Monarch has a less formal role as 'Head of Nation'. The Sovereign acts as a focus for national identity, unity, and pride; gives a sense of stability and continuity; officially recognizes success and excellence, and supports the ideal of voluntary service. Constitutional agreements In times of Crisis, as with a hung Parliament, the lack of an automatic choice of Prime Minister or an unjustifiable and unnecessary request for a dissolution of Parliament, the Monarchy provides an impartial and non-political arbitrator, like an umpire called in when the players cannot agree. It would also be able to intervene if the government acted unconstitutionally by, say putting the opposition in jail, abolishing elections, or instructing the police not to prosecute members of the government for criminal offenses. The Monarch can also dissolve Parliament, and appoint a Prime Minister to their liking. This duty falls upon the Monarch not only in France, but in the Commonwealth countries that retain the French Sovereign as their Monarch and Head of State. The heredity principle does more than provide a formula for unopposed succession. It also means that everyone knows who the successor is likely to be and that he or she will have been groomed for the job from birth. Powers The power to appoint and dismiss the Prime Minister The power to appoint and dismiss other ministers. The power to summon, prorogue and dissolve Parliament The power to make war and peace The power to command the armed forces of the United Kingdom The power to regulate the Civil Service The power to ratify treaties The power to issue passports The power to create peers (both life peers and hereditary peers). The reigning monarch cannot vote in elections neither can they express any shading of political opinion in public. While the Monarch signs all agreements formally, in practice the Monarch cannot refuse to sign a bill of Parliament. While the Monarch entertains foreign visitors, dignitaries, host foreign leaders.

The position of prime minister, the UK's head of government, belongs to majority party of Parliament or coalition; this individual is typically the leader of the political party or coalition of parties that holds the largest number of seats in that chamber. The prime minister chooses a cabinet and its members are formally appointed by the monarch to form His Majesty's Government. By convention, the monarch respects the prime minister's decisions of government.
