The New Zealand Government

New Zealand government has three different branches -

the Legislature (Parliament),
- Information on the role of Parliament
- A list of MPs
- NZ Parliamentary Homepage
the Executive The branch of government which perfoms tasks.
- Cabinet which is comprised of Ministers and government departments
and the Judiciary (Judges).

Power is divided between these branches thus preventing any single branch from acting against the basic constitutional principles of the country. Although each branch has a different role, they are not totally separate from each other.
