Talk:Politics of Haiti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I tried to wikify this page and make it a bit easier on the eye, as I guess it might actually be frequented at the moment. I removed a couple of facts like the flag description or the national holiday as they rather belong to Haiti. Furthermore, I removed the US embassies, since I believe we should list embassies from all countries then. If you want to reinsert them, get the info from the CIA World Factbook or from the history. It would be nice if someone could insert some lines about how (if) the actual situation differs from what is written in the constitution. DrZ 23:30, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Form of government

Since Haiti has a Prime Minister who can actually do something (and is actually worth firing) and beyond that requires legislative approval to take office (like France and unlike Taiwan and South Korea), shouldn't Haiti be classified as a semi-presidential as opposed to presidential republic? Isn't it the definition of a semi-presidential system that the Prime Minister is the actual head of government BUT that the President holds some or most of the executive power? Note that on List of countries by system of government, Haiti is listed as a semi-presidential (not full presidential) republic. Lockesdonkey (talk) 21:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
