Talk:Tag:government=legislative
It would be great to replace the photo illustrated this article as it doesn't correspond to the topic.
On the pediment of the building there is an inscription "Constitutional Court", which is not a legislative branch of government. It has a certain relation to the government, but only in the part concerning the decision on the legality of acts of the parliament, but it belongs to the judicial branch of power.--Andygol (talk) 21:07, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Legislative offices
This article currently describes the tag as being specific to "the office of the legislature", as in a legislature's main assembly hall, which would make it essentially a synonym of government=parliament but potentially applicable to smaller jurisdictions like cities and counties. However, there's also a need for a government=* value that covers offices where the day-to-day operations of the legislature take place.
For example, in the United States, the Capitol building is tagged government=parliament, but each legislator has their own office in one of six buildings across the street; these buildings currently have no government=* tag to clarify the kind of office. Furthermore, each legislator maintains at least one state or district office outside Washington, D.C., back in their home state, with staff who serve as liaisons with local government officials and residents. In Texas, members of the state legislature are important enough to have freeway exit signs directing motorists to their district offices. [1] In Chicago, each alderman on the city council maintains a ward office.
For the time being, at Lectrician1's suggestion, I've started tagging these offices as office=government government=legislator to avoid confusion with legislative assembly halls.
