unlimited, because everyone has the right to vote

The passage suggests that while citizens may not directly elect the prime minister, they do elect their legislative representatives who in turn appoint the prime minister. This indicates a form of representative democracy where the power of the government is restricted by laws and a constitution, and where citizens have the ability to influence government actions through the electoral process. Therefore, Asha's nation has a limited government.
