States of Great Britain

Great Britain is divided into 16 states. Each state is governed by a unicameral legislature. The legislatures are elected every 5 years by single transferable vote (STV) by convention, they are all elected on the same day, at the same time. The state legislature elects, from amongst its members, a First Minister, who is the head of the executive. The First Minister chooses the Cabinet consisting of members of the legislature. Powers are determined by the Instrument of Government (UK constitution) called Union List and State List.
