Vietnam's Government

The communist Party is dominating Vietnam right now. In the new constitution written in 1980 it states that there will be only one party, the communist party, and no one should question their authority. This then lead to a much more strict rule, with less humanitarian rights granted to the citizens.There is a centralized system and powers are only given to a selective few. There is a hierarchy similar to most governments, but these positions are not elected by the public but rather the assembly. The president doesn't have any authority, and is in office for 10 years. This government has been quite corrupted. They have been known to frame and wrongly execute laws to kill their enemies. There are not set rules here. Though they have many laws they are written in a way so that they can twist them anyway they want.
Here is the president of Vietnam with the communist flag behind him.
