Politics of Niue takes place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democratic dependency, whereby the Chief Minister is the head of government, and of a multi-party system. Niue is self-governing in free association with New Zealand and is fully responsible for internal affairs. New Zealand retains some responsibility for external affairs, in consultation with Niue. The Niue Constitution Act 1974 (NZ) vests executive authority in Her Majesty the Queen in Right of New Zealand and the Governor-General of New Zealand. The constitution specifies that in everyday practice, it is exercised by a Cabinet of the Premier of Niue and three other ministers. The premier and ministers must be members of the Niue Assembly, the nation's legislative assembly. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. ==Executive branch== |Queen |Elizabeth II | |6 February 1952 |- |Queen's Representative: The Governor-General of New Zealand |Sir Jerry Mateparae | |31 August 2011 |- |New Zealand High Commissioner |HE Ross Ardern | |September 2010 |- |Premier of Niue |Hon Toke Talagi | |19 June 2008 |} The monarch is hereditary; her representative in relation to Niue (the Governor-General of New Zealand) is appointed by the monarch.
