- umanwizard 9y agoIt's called that in the US. We're talking about Europe.
- baddox 9y agoMost of those countries have roughly the same three branches, don’t they?
- roywiggins 9y agoRoughly, but the nomenclature is different. It's kind of the opposite of metonymy, it's using the more general word ("government") to refer to the more specific thing (the current set of politicians in power).
