Membership
Members of the Privy Council are appointed by the King of Tonga who is its Chairmen. The Council has 3 types of members:
- Regular Members-these are the majority.
- Members who hold their position by virtue of an office they occupy
- The Law Lords
The Lord Chancellor, the Lord President of the Supreme Court and the Attorney General are automatically members of the Privy Council. The constitution doesn't set a limit on the number of members who sit on the Council and this is left to the decision of the Monarch.

Famous quotes containing the word membership:
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
