The Naalakkersuisut is the government of Greenland, a "constituent country" ({{lang-da|land}}) of the Kingdom of Denmark, takes place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democratic country, whereby the prime minister is the head of government, and of a multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and parliament Inatsisartut. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. Greenland has full autonomy on most matters, except on policies and decisions affecting the region including negotiations with the devolved legislatures and the Folketing.

Executive power

Executive power rests with a high commissioner, and a prime minister heads the Cabinet. The high commissioner of Greenland is appointed by the monarch (since 2011: Queen Margrethe II), and the prime minister is elected indirectly by parliament elections results for four-year terms.

Cabinet

The Naalakkersuisut is divided into a number of areas of responsibility each led by a Naalakkersuisoq ({{lang-en|Minister}}) with powers corresponding to that of a minister or secretary of government. The cabinet is based on a majority in the Inatsisartut of the parties Siumut (S), Atassut (A), Nunatta Qitornai (NQ), relying on parliamentary support from Demokraatit (D). As of 5 October 2018, the current composition of the Naalakkersuisut is as follows:^[1][2]

Legislative power

Legislative power is shared by the government and the legislature. The legislature or Self-rule of Greenland ({{lang-kl|Namminersorlutik Oqartussat}}, {{lang-da|Selvstyre}}) is made up of 31 members elected by direct, popular vote to serve four-year terms. The current composition is shown below:

Judicial power

Greenland's judicial system, which has mainly been derived from the Danish civil law system, operates independently of the legislature and the executive. It has one court of first instance: the Court of Greenland, and an appeal court the High Court of Greenland. No appeal is possible to decisions of the Joint Court of Justice, but fundamental "questions of law" may be submitted to the Østre Landsret and the Supreme Court of Denmark in cassation. Verdicts by those institutions may lead to a new decision of the Joint Court, taking into account the results of the cassation.
