Scotland has a Constitutional Monarchy which is a democratic government where a monarch acts as a nonpolitical head.. Elections in Scotland mostly occur every four years.
The First Minister of Scotland is Alex Salmond and the Deputy First Minister is Nicola Sturgeon.
The Scottish Government is accountable for the Scottish Parliament. The Scottish Government is led by the First Minister who selects the Cabinet Secretaries and Junior Ministers. The First Minister and the Cabinet Secretaries constitute the Cabinet.
My opinion on the government of Scotland is it leans toward a Socialist type government. I do not like this because, a Socialist government is a gateway towards communism. It leans toward that way because of the amount of control that the government has over an individual's life.
