what kind of government does qatar have

Qatar has a constitutional emirate form of government. It is a hereditary monarchy ruled by an emir from the Al Thani family, who holds nearly all executive, legislative, and judicial powers. The emir appoints the prime minister and the cabinet, which together form the Council of Ministers. Qatar's constitution provides for a Consultative Assembly (Majlis al-Shura) that has limited powers, with members partly elected and partly appointed by the emir. Political parties are banned, and the emir retains preeminent authority within constitutional and Islamic law constraints. The system blends traditional monarchy with some elements of constitutional governance, but the emir's authority remains dominant and central to the political system.
