The Federal General Assembly (Mercia- UDI 1995)

Over view
See- The current government ministries of the Federal Republic of Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

The national goverment is the Federal General Assembly, which is elected every 4 years and uses the former (in thier reality) Westminster constuancies, split in two new constuancies, were ever posible. The goverment is, by nessesity of it's small size, in a perminant state of coialition polatics.

Government is run like a comity. The cabinet of ministers is elected by the vote of the membership of the assembly. Those who become ministers can run their ministries on a day to day basis without consultation. All national policy is decided by an ad-hock meeting of all the government’s ministers. The non-cabinet members are known as 'back benchers' meet on an ad-hock basis to discuss government business and formally gather in a general meeting with the cabinet between 10 am and 5pm every Monday to interrogate the cabinet, who can be likened to a company's board of directors while the back benchers take the role similar to the interested shareholders and investors at a firm's AGM.

All the elections in the Federal Republic are by the first past the post system and are open to nationals over the age of 17.

The Leader of the House and de-facto prime minister is Federal Consevative's MP for South Herefordshire, Steven Arnold Wight.
