Do you vote for a minister or is it the role of the elected executive?
Different things in different countries, isn't it ?
I think it depends on whether you have an Executive Head of State, like Trump or Macron, in which case they tend to be elected and then appoint their own ministers who are usually from elected representatives but not always, as in the USA, or whether you have a non-executive Head of State, like the various Royal Families and Monarchies around the world, in which case you usually vote for your local representative(s) and then let those elected representatives decide on the the Prime Minister who then appoints subsidiary ministers from the rest of the elected representatives, but again not always - think Brown's appointment of Mandelson as minister in the UK when he had already quit UK politics to become an EU Commissioner, and there have been the odd other occasions in the UK, it isn't just a Labour / Socialist thing.
At least, that's how I see the two systems working.
So to clarify, if he sorts those things out you'll regard him as successful? Okay, at least we have something to judge against.
Who ??
