Faroe Islands Parliament (Løgting)

The Faroese Parliament, called the Løgting, is the legislative body of the Faroe Islands, responsible for making laws, overseeing the government, and managing public affairs. It has 33 members elected every four years through a proportional representation system. The Løgting operates as a parliamentary democracy, working closely with the Faroese government to shape policies on areas like education, health, and the economy. It also represents the islands' unique culture and interests, functioning within the framework of the Kingdom of Denmark, of which the Faroes are a self-governing territory.
