Operation Prime Chance

Prime Minister of Canada is a great gig. If you’re going to be the leader of a country, it doesn’t get much better than Canada. We have so much going for us. One of our greatest assets actually has nothing to do with us at all but rather the stellar quality of our neighbours. And every Prime Minister since Mackenzie King could count on that. But that’s the thing about great neighbours, isn’t it? You think they’re gonna be there forever and then one day there’s a sold sign out front and you’re…

The power of race The typical power holder in the Canadian society is the Christian heterosexual white male who's in the middle to upper class which is the opposite of me, a Muslim heterosexual black woman, however I can never force something on the man because I have no power and because of that I agree with distinction made. Other the side, because I am a part of the minority group I would be denied many rights (maybe I am granted those rights legally but then socially I might not) and…

contemporary issues. The recollection of events surrounding Julia Gillard’s time as Prime Minister, written by Kerry-Anne Walsh, is a recent piece of literature that highlights issues for the role and practice of HR. “The Stalking of Julia Gillard” (Walsh, 2013) is a political commentator’s depiction of Australian politics and media from June 2011 to April 2013. This time in Australian Government saw the first female Prime Minister lead the ALP to pass a record 561 bills (Singleton, 2013,…

The golden age of parliamentary democracy in the United Kingdom, pre modern party system, is where large bombastic speeches could change the entirety of the direction of a nation. The composition of Parliament, specifically the House of Commons, in Canada has never been through the golden age of parliamentary government, where no member had a distinct party affiliation. Basic analysis of the underlying political framework leads to indisputable electoral bias towards political parties. This…

executed by all adult citizens that freely elected the representatives. Democracy rests upon the principles of majority rule and individual rights. Democracies protect its citizens against all-powerful government. Democracies understand that one of their prime functions is to protect such basic human rights as freedom of speech and religion; the right to equal protection under law; and the opportunity to organize and participate fully in the political, economic, and cultural life of society.…

of the Westminster system include the sovereign/head of state, a head of government (head of the executive/Prime Minister), executive branch, judiciary, civil service, parliamentary opposition and the legislature (Mulgan 55). However, the amount of power the head of state has is different in New Zealand. Today, the governor-general is elected by the Queen as per recommendation from the Prime Minister. This position of a governor-general does not entitle much authority over New Zealand in regards…

Thus, it is important to look at the advantages and disadvantages of such a body and how this works in the current political environment of Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) in NZ. Cabinet is a collective group of elected crown ministers headed by the Prime Minister (PM), who meet weekly to decide government policy. Cabinet heads the executive branch of government which executes laws and policies. Individual ministers instruct politically neutral public servants, the armed forces and police, and…

foreign policy developments have occurred in Nepal in recent months. Before the dust stirred by Prime Minister KP Oli 's visits to India and China has settled, the India-EU statement and Mohana Ansari 's statement have put Nepal into sharp and unflattering diplomatic focus. However, much of it is a storm in a teacup generated by partisan arm-chair generals. Sure there are serious issues in which Prime Minister Oli should be held to account. For example, Oli has bragged big, but delivered…

important areas. In the follow paper I argue that while in certain areas the President of the USA carries greater powers than that of an Australian Prime Minister, in some important categories he or she does not.

Australia is a constitutional monarchy, which means it has a parliamentary system of…

These changes within parliament allowed for the Prime Minister to appoint everyone who sits in office. This helps push forward the Prime Minister’s personal agenda with minimal resistance. The Prime Minister has control over who is appointed into office, who…
