What I have learnt
House of receptiveness is a group of 120 member of parliament and they are elected by the people and party. The 5 functions of parliament are
Represent the people of New Zealand,
provide a government,
Scrutinise and hold the government to account,
Make laws Approve how taxpayer money is spent
For our electorate system, we have 2 votes. One for who we want to represent as our local MP and the second for what party we want to form a government. When the government makes laws it is approved by the sovereign. The sovereign is the Governor that represents the queen her name is Dame Anne Reddy.
Thank you for your blog Alex. Can you think of a country that has a different system of government to ours?
