Although they cannot directly propose laws, they do vote on laws proposed by the government. Additionally, if necessary, they are able to bring forward a vote of no confidence against the Prime Minister, if they can garner enough support from other mayors. The Monarch has the power to veto the Parliament, however this can be overruled by a 2/3 majority. | ||
When under the Prime Ministerial system, the Prime Minister heads the British government and appoints Ministers to help him/her run the nation. These individuals make up the Cabinet, who are tasked with proposing laws, coming up with government policies and assisting the Prime Minister with governing the nation. Ministers can be fired by the Prime Minister at any given moment. | |||
The role of Advisor was also added, initially proposed by Duke Gabeee, as a lower-level position within the Cabinet. These individuals are also chosen by the PM and are there in a consulting capacity, with more privileges than Mayors (being able to propose votes), but less than Ministers, with the inability to speak in certain channels. It was envisioned as a way to slowly introduce trusted players into the upper echelons of the. British government. | |||
=== Privy Council System === | |||
Under the Privy Council system of governance, which has occurred twice in British history and is the current system adopted since the Crisis began, the Monarch themselves appoint a selected number of "Lord-Ministers" to fulfill the duties of governance in the Council, as opposed to the Cabinet. These Ministers have no official Area of Responsibility or jurisdiction, but can vote on whether a new player ought to be added to the Council, as a Lord-Minister or as a "Royal Advisor." Royal Advisors remain under the same capacity as under the Prime Ministerial system. The British Constitution was changed accordingly to account for these changes. | |||
