Feels like we shouldve gotten our own colour, with simply *”it’s complicated”*
Vatican and Saudi Arabia giving each other a subtle nod.
I would say Poland is Semi-Presidental Parliamentary Republic. Both President and PM have strong positions
If you put on the “truth” glasses you can see that those are just Olygarchies.
Italy should be either yellow, with those definition.
Russia and Belarus are bloody dictatorships de-facto.
Head of state is ceremonial?
The role varies a great deal here. The Danish Queen acts like she is ceremonial, but everything in the administration of the state centers around the Queen. She “hires” the government, signs the laws, hires judges and police, is chief of the armed forces, is mediator for deciding the government after an election, greats foreign ambassadors and hires the Danish ones, is protectorate for Greenland and the Faroe Islands in matters relating between parliament and the two self governing territories…..
The constitution, the laws and management of the state is all build on the existence of a Monarchy, and 3/4 of the population wants it to remain that way.
Ceremonial sure, but that is by choice, and has remained so for over 100 years now.
Interesting how few, and currently unsuccessful, presidential republics there are. When it’s nearly the default in the rest of the world’s democracies.
Also, how the official form of government doesn’t really indicate how democratic it actually is.
The head of state is not de jure ceremonial in Denmark. Executive authority is vested in the monarch, and legislative authority is vested conjointly in the monarch and parliament.
This map leads me to conclude that a presidential republic has some severe potential drawbacks for the country that adopts it.
Interesting how there seems to be an east to west correlation
Shouldn’t the vatican be a theocracy instead of an absolute monarchy ?
Parliamentary best, Presidential poo poo, change my mind.
actually, Switzerland has no head of state. The whole government acts as head of state
Free Vatican City 🇻🇦 from the autocrat!
Actually, The Republic of Moldova has switched back to semi-presidential in 2016.
The Polish president isn’t ceremonial. We are semi-presidential
France should be blue.
The government isn’t subjected to parlementary confidence.
The president is the head of the government but still names a 1st minister that derives and applies the president program
Iceland has kinda had the same constitution since its was part of the danish monarchy.
