Best Answer

New Zealand is a parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy.

New Zealand registered electors vote for members of parliament who propose and vote on Bills of parliament. At the Select committee stage the general public can make submissions on the Bills.

Once Bills have been passed through the three stages of voting in parliament they are signed by the Governor-General (the Queen's representative) and become Acts of Parliament and are law.

The Courts interpret the law, and their decisions are also considered to be part of the law. Where Acts of Parliament are not clear or leave out details, courts must decide how the law is to be applied. This can be controversial, as Judges themselves are not elected and are appointed.
