New Zealand Parliament - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (2493 words)
New Zealand essentially follows the Westminster system of government, and is governed by a cabinet and Prime Minister chosen by the House of Representatives. The Parliament was established by the by the British New Zealand Constitution Act 1852 which established a bicameral legislature, but the upper house, the Legislative Council, was abolished in 1951 so Parliament is now unicameral. Although technically, the term Parliament encompasses both the monarch and the House of Representatives, because the body is unicameral, and the role of the monarch is largely ceremonial, the House of Representatives is often incorrectly referred to as Parliament .
