[edit] More details?
How is the Council selected? Is it appointed by central government or elected in provincial elections? What powers does it have? Is there a clear separation of responsibilities between provincial and national government? If anyone knows, please add all of this. I'm taking a class on federalism at the moment, and don't even know if my home country is! Joziboy 24 March 2006, 17:11 (UTC)
[edit] Title of members
I've seen reference to "Members of Provincial Parliament" on the web. Is this correct? Rich Farmbrough 22:13 30 March 2006 (UTC).
- (Bit of a late reply:) No, MPP's (or MPL's) are representatives in the parliament/legislature of a specific province (somewhat, I suppose, like MSP's in Scotland). Members of the NCOP, I would imagine, are just referred to as "Members of Parliament" since Parliament is made up of both the National Assembly (which is what people usually think of) and the NCOP. I don't know what the formal title/suffix would be, though. - htonl 19:20, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
