Best Answer

The Queensland Government is a parliamentary system based on a representative democracy. The people, exercising their democratic right to vote, elect Members to represent them in the Legislative Assembly, the only chamber of the Queensland Parliament. This system of government is sometimes referred to as the 'Westminster system', after the British Parliament in the Palace of Westminster, London. Queensland has 89 electorates, or seats. Currently (2008) they are made up of: * ALP - 59 seats, which gives Labor the majority. therefore the current government in Queensland is Labor, headed by Premier Anna Bligh. Other seats are: National Party - 17 seats

Liberal Party - 8 seats

One Nation - 1 seat

Independents - 4 seats
