	Parliamentary system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A parliamentary system, or parliamentarism, is distinguished by the executive branch of government being dependent on the direct or indirect support of the parliament, often expressed through a vote of confidence.
		Parliamentary systems usually have a clear differentiation between the head of government and the head of state, with the head of government being the prime minister or premier, and the head of state often being an appointed figurehead with only minor or ceremonial powers.
		In most parliamentary systems, the head of state is primarily a ceremonial position, often a monarch or president, retaining duties that aren't politically divisive, such as appointments of civil service.

		A parliamentary system, or parliamentarism, is distinguished by the head of government being dependent on the direct or indirect support of the parliament, often expressed through a vote of confidence.
		A parliamentary system presupposes a multi-party form of government and clear differentiation between the head of government and the head of state.
		The Westminster System is a particular type of parliamentary system that developed out of parliamentary democracy as practised at Westminster in London and was promulgated as the dominant form of government throughout the British Empire, many of whose colonies, since gaining their independence, have become Commonwealth countries.

	Government: Parliamentary system
		It is the government that executes the decisions, but it is Riksdagen that supervises that the laws are correctly implemented and the decisions carried out.
		It is the government, Regeringen - consisting of the prime minister and the other ministers - that governs the state and is answerable to the parliament, Riksdagen.
		It is, for example, he or she who selects the rest of the government, appoints some of the ministers and also has the right to dismiss ministers.

	CHAPTER V
		In the Romanian Constitution of 1866 the institution of the political responsibility of the government doesn’t appear and, for that reason, it is doubtful that the formal political system of that period could be considered a parliamentary democracy.
		However, in practice, the government began to be obliged to resign not only when one or the two chambers of the parliament adopted an express vote of no confidence, but even when, directly or implicitly, the parliament showed its intention to withdraw its support.
		Being the result of a political compromise, the Convention actually stipulated some rules opposed to a parliamentary system, for example, it provided for the prince to govern together with his ministers, which was a recognition of the right of the chief of state to take part in the executive functions of the state.

	The Whitlam Institute: The Whitlam Collection: Parliamentary Government and Liberty
		Mr Whitlam said that parliamentary government means that the government is responsible to parliament and that parliament is representative of the people.
		Parliamentary government therefore requires, firstly, that the people be equally represented, secondly, that the people have power to elect members of parliament at regular intervals and, thirdly, that the government should face Parliament at regular intervals.
		There is a further limitation on parliamentary government in Australia in that the courts have said that many fields are beyond the scope of any of our seven parliaments.

	What Is Democracy? - Democratic Government
		But in the end, a government resting upon the consent of the governed can speak and act with a confidence and authority lacking in a regime whose power is perched uneasily on the narrow ledge of military force or an unelected party apparatus.
		Parliamentary governments, especially if elected through proportional representation, tend toward multiparty systems where even relatively small political groupings are represented in the legislature.
		A prime minister with a firm parliamentary majority is assured of passage of the government's legislative program; a president dealing with a congress jealous of its own prerogatives must often engage in protracted negotiations to ensure a bill's passage.

		The introduction of parliamentary rule would increase the public accountability of the government and the Duma, but the resulting system could turn out to be unstable and possibly even more corrupt than it is now.
		He hurried to explain that "the president's thesis on parliamentary rule is the position voiced by United Russia." Indeed, as early as September of 2002, United Russia's Aleksandr Bespalov spoke fervently in favor of parliamentary rule and of ministers drawn from elected politicians.

		One of the key constitutional features of a parliamentary democracy is that the political executive, or cabinet, derives its mandate from-and is politically responsible to-the legislature.
		What makes a parliamentary democracy democratic is that, once a legislative election has been held, the new legislature has the power to dismiss the incumbent executive and replace it with a new one.
		Leading specialists on institutional politics in the major parliamentary democracies have been encouraged to describe legislative- executive interactions in terms of a common theoretical framework.
