His Majesty's Government of Wellmoore is the main legislative body of the Kingdom of Wellmoore. The Government is lead by a Prime Minister (currently Lord Axel MP) who appoints those in the cabinet.

History

The Kingdom of Wellmoore is a Constitutional Executive Monarchy in which the reigning monarch may make major executive decision. However the Wellmoorean Government makes a majority of any open political decisions.

His Majesty's Government loosely uses the Westminster System.

Since the start of Wellmoore in 2020, the Prime Minister of Wellmoore has always been an elected Member of Parliament (MP) and thus directly answerable to the House of Ministers.

His Majesty's Government and the Crown

The Monarch of the Kingdom of Wellmoore, currently King Luke of Wellmoore, is the Head of State and Sovereign but not the Head of Government. The Monarch may choose to participate in the governing of the country but it's up to them. However, the authority of the state that is vested in the sovereign, known as the Crown, remains as the source of executive power exercised by the government.


The Prime Minister also has weekly meetings with the monarch, who "Has a right and a duty to express his views on Government matters. These meetings, as with all communications between The King and his Government, remain strictly confidential. Having expressed his views, The King abides by the advice of his ministers."


Royal Powers include but are not limited to:
