Politics of Ontario
The
Province
of
Ontario
is governed by a unicameral legislature, the
Legislative Assembly of Ontario
, which operates in the
Westminster system
of government. The political party that wins the largest number of seats in the legislature normally forms the government, and the party's leader becomes
premier
of the province, i.e., the
head of the government
. Ontario's primary political parties are the centre-left
Ontario Liberal Party
, the centre-right
Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario
(PC), and the social democratic
Ontario New Democratic Party
(NDP). The
Green Party of Ontario
has seen its support grow over the years - to 8.1% of the vote in 2007 - but has yet to win a seat in the Legislature.
