So, you don't have a seperation of powers in your government?
Okay, well, let me think - so that I can properly compare it to the US system. If I understand your system, you have three branches -judicial, legislative and executive. Okay, so we,too, have an independant judiciary. But, if I recall correctly the differences between the executive and legislative branches, both of those would be controlled in Canada by the House of Commons (where the MPs we just elected sit - including the Prime Minister himself - he's just another member of the House of Commons). (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong in this comparison)
