Features of Parliamentary Government
- Fusion of Powers: The executive is selected from the legislature, creating a close link between these branches.
- Collective Responsibility: The entire cabinet is accountable for government decisions, and a vote of no confidence can force its resignation.
- Dual Executive: A ceremonial head of state (President or Monarch) coexists with a head of government (Prime Minister), who holds actual executive power.
- Flexible Terms: The government may call early elections if it loses parliamentary support.
- Debate and Deliberation: Regular parliamentary sessions ensure active scrutiny and debate on policies and legislation.
These features encourage transparency, responsiveness, and a high degree of political accountability.
