[edit] Poland

Looking at the article President of the Republic of Poland, it seems that he (or theoretically she, though it hasn't happened yet) has a substantial amount of power (including a veto requiring a supermajority override ala USA). Doesn't this make Poland a semi-presidential system as opposed to a parliamentary one? I have also brought this up at Talk:Poland. Lockesdonkey (talk) 23:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Haiti

Again with semi-presidential, though this time I think it's clearer: the Prime Minister of Haiti nominates the Cabinet, is "responsible for defense" (with the President), and sets policy goals for the government. In other words, he/she is worth firing/blaming for the country's problems. I think that, given the power of the Haitian President, this makes Haiti clearly semi-presidential. I have brought this up at Talk:Haiti and Talk:Politics of Haiti. Lockesdonkey (talk) 21:45, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nepal and Bhutan

Bhutan is now a constitutional monarchy as it held elections for parliament for the first time in its history on March 24, 2008. Also today, May 28, 2008, is a great day because another monarchy has finally been abolished... this time in Nepal. It is now known as the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal. --Tocino 21:54, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
