Not sure if this has been discussed before, but what do fellow 
listees make of the political system in the Wizarding World.

Fudge is an "elected" representative of the population, but we don't 
know to what extent this was a democratic process. How many 
ministerial candidates were there? Is voting compulsory? What about 
political parties in the Wizarding World?

There appears to be no discernable separation of powers OR enshrined 
constitution OR independent, er... reputable, news medium. 
Pertaining to elections, there are at least 5-6 years between 
drinks. Just how accountable is the holder of office??

I've speculated as to the role played by international law in the 
wizarding world. Any thoughts?

John.
