Figurehead

W polityce figurka jest osobą, która posiada dejure ważny tytuł lub urząd, ale de facto wykonuje niewiele rzeczywistą moc, najczęściej ograniczoną konwencją, a nie prawem. Metafora wywodzi się z rzeźbionej figurki na dziobie żaglowca. Inne figurki to cesarz Akihito z Japonii, lub prezydenci niektórych republik parlamentarnych, na przykład Prezydent Indii, Prezydent Izraela, Prezydent Bangladeszu, Prezydent Grecji, Prezydent Niemiec, Prezydent Pakistanu i Prezydent Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej Chin. Choć władza figurek jest w praktyce ogólnie symboliczna lub uroczysta, opinia publiczna, poszanowanie urzędu lub posiadacza urzędu oraz dostęp do wysokiego szczebla rządu mogą mieć znaczący wpływ na wydarzenia. W tych systemach władzy, w których głowa państwa jest w praktyce figurantem, są oni generalnie tytularnymi dowódcami szefa narodowych sił zbrojnych. Czasami w nagłych przypadkach może być wykorzystywana głowica.

In politics, a figurehead is a person who holds de jure an important title or office yet de facto executes little actual power, most commonly limited by convention rather than law. The metaphor derives from the carved figurehead at the prow of a sailing ship. Other figureheads are the Emperor Akihito of Japan, or presidents in some parliamentary republics, such as the President of India, President of Israel, President of Bangladesh, President of Greece, President of Germany, President of Pakistan, and the President of the People's Republic of China. While the authority of a figurehead is in practice generally symbolic or ceremonial, public opinion, respect for the office or the office holder and access to high levels of government can give them significant influence on events. In those systems of government where the head of state is in practice a figurehead, they are also generally the titular commanders in chief of the nation's defence forces. Sometimes a figurehead can be exploited in times of emergency.
