The government of the Isle of Man is a parliamentary representative democracy. As a Crown Dependency,it is not subordinate to the government of the United Kingdom. That government,however,is responsible for defence and external affairs and could intervene in the domestic affairs of the island under its residual responsibilities to guarantee "good government" in all Crown dependencies. The Monarch of the United Kingdom is also the head of state of the Isle of Man,and generally referred to as "The Queen,Lord of Mann". Legislation of the Isle of Man defines "the Crown in right of the Isle of Man" as separate from the "Crown in right of the United Kingdom". Her representative on the island is the Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man,but his role is mostly ceremonial,though he does have the power to grant Royal Assent.
