Since the 2000s, the Cape has been fundamentally structured as a {{wp|parliamentary system|parliamentary}} {{wp|representative democracy}}. Although the RNP holds the majority of seats in the {{wp|bicameral system|bicameral}} [[Supreme National Assembly]], third parties have been allowed to run in elections and even hold cabinet positions.
