Political Climate in Saudi Arabia


       In our world we have different kinds of governments to lead different countries, for example there are: kingdom as Saudi Arabia, Republic as Egypt and federal government as USA. And according to the classification of the country the political regime will be different.
       In my country-Saudi Arabia- we have a kingdom government, and our king is King Abdullah ben Abdulaziz Al-Saud who is in the same time the government president. The Positions of authority in Saudi Arabia are the king, the Crown, Shura Council which is responsible for issuing various regulations and the Allegiance Council which must approve for the new king because he is the one who transmits the authority to him.
  What make me proud of our kings, that they are not using (king) as epithet In official correspondence, but they are using another name which is the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. It means they are chosen to be a custodian of the sacred religious places.
    The Saudi kingdom divided into cities and counties, the president of the county called the Prince, when the president of the city called the Mayor. In my kingdom to have a nationality there is a long list of conditions, for example: you should being lived more than 10 years in Saudi and you should be working...etc.
     The positive points of the Kingdom government is the governance period, because the king will ruled the kingdom until he die; which gives the Kingdom the political stability and reduces the internal conflicts of ruling request. Via this type of government the kingdom can provide the amount of money that is supposed to spend for elections every 4 years.
   The negative thing about the kingdom government there is almost no chance to change the King if he is a bad until he died. Other thing, we could not vote to choose the king, because the type of government in the Kingdom via the Inheritance.
    The monarchy is still the old regime and modern. And no matter how different systems of governance, the people are not interested in the end about the system of government
but they interested about how they live safely, well and free.
