Mauritius has a presidential democracy modelled on the British parliamentary system which guarantees the separation of the legislative, executive and judicial powers. The President is the Head of State, but this is more of a ceremonial role since although executive authority is vested in him/her, they act on the advice of the Cabinet of the Government of the Republic of Mauritius. The Prime Minister is the Head of the Government and wields considerable powers through the constitutional right to advise the President to appoint or remove Ministers and to assign responsibilities to Ministers. The sixty-two members of Parliament are elected every five years by universal adult suffrage. Democracy is well entrenched in Mauritius and all major political parties are represented in Parliament.
