 Government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Welsh Assembly Government" is the name of the executive branch of Wales, and "Scottish government" is the unofficial term to describe the Scottish Executive.
Under traditional forms of government that ruled most of the world until a few centuries ago, such as monarchy and oligarchy, these powers were concentrated in the hands of one person or a small group of people.
Governments thus exist for the purpose of serving the needs and wishes of the people, and their relationship with the people is clearly stipulated in a "social contract" (a constitution and a set of laws) which both the government and the people must abide by.

 Prime Minister of Spain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prime Minister, or President of the Government (Spanish: Presidente del Gobierno), of Spain is the Spanish head of government, but not the head of state, which is the King.
The President of the Government is elected by the Congress of Deputies (the lower house of parliament) on being proposed by the King (this step is a mere formality).
Literally translated, this title is "President of the Government", but nevertheless the office-holder is commonly referred to in English as the "prime minister": the usual term for the head of government in a constitutional monarchy.

 Citizens Against Government Waste: January: Mr. President, Address the Deficit
Ultimately, strong economic growth is critical to balancing the government's books, so the president was correct to propose an aggressive economic stimulus to boost markets and new growth.
The president has acted boldly to stimulate economic growth; in his State of the Union address he should pair his tax cut proposal with an equally audacious government reform agenda to restructure government and cut budget waste once and for all, or risk losing the mantle of fiscal responsibility.
The president and his allies should push such a package not only to make the point they are not apathetic about deficits, but to reinforce that government continues to be far too costly and wasteful.

 President Levy Mwanawasa's government blocks media bills
With the FOIA bill, ZIMA and opposition lawmakers wanted the government to lift the veil of secrecy on the army, air force and police on the grounds that they were funded by taxpayers and therefore taxpayers had a right to information on them.
The government has rejected this too, insisting that this was the prerogative of the executive and that parliament could merely ratify the appointments.
Although the government's version of the IBA and FOIA are similar to the ZIMA and opposition version, there was concern over the government's version of the broadcast bill.
