Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, a constitutional monarchy. The devolved government includes an Executive and an Assembly who deal with autonomous issues. The executive is a diarchy headed by a First Minister and a Deputy First Minister. The Assembly has 108 members known as MLA's and there is a cooperative agreement between unionist and nationalist parties.
By statute, the government of NI has to have a power-sharing executive with members from parties representing both communities. As of 2011, the First Minister is from the Democratic Unionist Party DUP (very pro-union) and the Deputy First Minister is from Sinn Fein (Irish republican party).

Republic - a representative democracy in which the people's elected deputies (representatives), not the people themselves, vote on legislation.
Parliamentary democracy - a political system in which the legislature (parliament) selects the government - a prime minister, premier, or chancellor along with the cabinet ministers - according to party strength as expressed in elections; by this system, the government acquires a dual responsibility: to the people as well as to the parliament.

∙ 6y agoThe Republic of Ireland is a parliamentary democracy (a form of republic as its name suggests).
Ireland's chief executive, the prime minister, is the "Taoiseach" and is appointed (actually only approved) by the president after designation by the lower house of Parliament, known as Dáil Éireann. There is also a senate, known as the Seanad Éireann. Since March 2011, the government consists of 2 parties: Fine Gael and the Labour Party. A general election must be held every 5 years, although elections can be called sooner than that. 3 general elections occurred in an 18 month period in 1981 and 1982.
The Irish President has no executive role in governing the country. The "president," while elected by popular vote, is largely a ceremonial office.A president has a 7 year term and can serve a maximum of 2 terms. General elections and presidential elections are held separately. The last presidential election was in October 2011.

At the moment Ireland has a parliment, called the "dail" (Irish) where the government,made up of elected representitives sit to discuss matters. The Taoiseach is in charge, he is the prime minister. This system has been in place sine 1923. Before that Ireland was ruled by England in the English parliament. They made laws in ireland which were largely ignored by the locals but enforced by english land lords.Before that, Ireland wAs not united and different parts were ruled by different men all claiming to be kings of there own people in what would've been the counties of ireland
