Cayman Islands, UK
The Cayman Islands has been a Colony of the UK since 1670 when Jamaica became a Colony of England and the Cayman Islands was part of Jamaica, which happened following the invasion of Jamaica by England, still, Jamaica was a Colony of the UK until its Independence in 1962, but the Cayman Islands has remained until today under British sovereignty. However, the Cayman Islands was a self-governing territory of the Colony of Jamaica from 1958 to 1962, but the Autonomy of the Cayman Islands was abolished when the Cayman Islands became a direct Colony of the UK after the independence of Jamaica, so until today the Cayman Islands has a formal status of a Non-Self-Governing Territory as a Colony of UK. Under the mechanism of a Non-Self-Governing Territory, the Cayman Islands has a Government and a Parliament to handle local affairs, still, the Governor is appointed by the King of the UK, rather than via democratic election by the citizens of the Cayman Islands. The Deputy Governor and the Attorney-General are also appointed by the Governor, yet the Deputy Governor must be a local one. However, the Parliament of the Cayman Islands is elected via a democratic election by the citizens of the Cayman Islands (19 Seats), yet the Governor of the Cayman Islands appoints two additional Seats for the Parliament. Besides, the Governor of the Cayman Islands appoints the PM of the Cayman Islands who should be the leader of the majority political party. The Governor of the Cayman Islands also appoints the Cabinet with the advice of the PM of the Cayman Islands.
