[[File:StormontGeneral.jpg|thumb|[[Guillaumebourg]], seat of the [[Yonderian Parliament]]]]The '''politics of Yonderre''' take place within the framework of a parliamentary representative democracy, a constitutional monarchy and a decentralised unitary state in which the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] is the head of state. Yonderian politics and governance are characterized by a common striving for broad consensus on important issues, within both the political community and society as a whole. [[Yonderre]] has a multi-party system, with two large parties (the [[Social Democrats (Yonderre|Social Democratic Party]] and [[United Yonderre]]) and several other small but significant parties. No single party has held an absolute majority in the Parliament since 1901 when the [[Conservative People's Party (Yonderre)|Conservative People's Party]] held | [[File:StormontGeneral.jpg|thumb|[[Guillaumebourg]], seat of the [[Yonderian Parliament]]]]The '''politics of Yonderre''' take place within the framework of a parliamentary representative democracy, a constitutional monarchy and a decentralised unitary state in which the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] is the head of state.

On many issues the political parties tend to opt for co-operation, and the Yonderian state welfare model receives broad parliamentary support. This ensures a focus on public-sector efficiency and devolved responsibilities of local government on regional and municipal levels. Executive power is exercised by the government, presided over by the [[Steward of the Realm]] who is first among equals. Executive power is also wielded by the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] but only rarely exercised. Legislative power is exercised by the [[Yonderian Parliament]]. Members of the judiciary are nominated by the executive (conventionally by recommendation of the judiciary itself), formally appointed by the Grand Duke and employed until retirement. | On many issues the political parties tend to opt for co-operation, and the Yonderian state welfare model receives broad parliamentary support.
