Government of the Cayman Islands takes place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democratic overseas territory, whereby the Premier is the head of government, and of a two-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Legislative Assembly. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. The Cayman Islands' physical isolation under early British colonial rule allowed the development of an indigenous set of administrative and legal traditions which were codified into a constitution in 1959. A constitution, which devolved some authority from the United Kingdom to the Cayman Islands government, was passed by referendum on 20 May 2009. Subsequently, the islands have become largely self-governing. The Cayman Islands' government is aided by a tradition of restrained civil governance from the United Kingdom. ==Executive branch== The Cabinet is appointed by the Governor on advice of the Premier. The British Crown appoints a Governor, who is recruited from the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office and serves as the British representative, including his role as the direct representative of Queen Elizabeth II. Daily administration of the islands is conducted by the Cabinet.〔http://www.gov.ky/portal/page/portal/cighome/government/formofgovernment〕 The Deputy Governor, and Attorney General are appointed by the Governor. Responsibility for defence and foreign affairs resides with the United Kingdom; however, the Deputy Governor handles the portfolio for External Affairs, and the Cayman Islands Government may negotiate certain bilateral matters directly with foreign governments. The Governor can exercise complete executive authority if he wishes through reserve powers reserved to him in the Constitution. However, he must consult with the Premier prior to using such powers and must do so in the interest of the Cayman Islands (so long as it doesn't prejudice British interests). He must give royal assent to all legislation, which allows him the power to strike down any law the legislature may see fit for the country. In modern times, the Governor usually allows the country to be run by the cabinet, and the civil service to be run by the Deputy Governor, who is the Acting Governor when the Governor is not able to discharge his usual duties for one reason or another. The Governor of the Cayman Islands is Helen Kilpatrick and the Deputy Governor is the Honourable Franz Manderson.〔http://www.gov.ky/portal/page/portal/cighome/government/roleofthegovernor〕 List of ministers: * Premier of the Cayman Islands and Cayman Islands Ministry of Home & Community Affairs: Honourable Alden McNee McLaughlin Jr * Deputy Premier of the Cayma Islands and Cayman Islands Ministry of District Administration, Tourism and Transport: Honourable Moses Kirkconnell * Cayman Islands Ministry of Planning, Lands, Agriculture, Housing & Infrastructure: Honourable D.
