Parliamentary Democracy

In a parliamentary democratic system, people elect representatives to a body called, the parliament. The parliament elects a prime minister as the active head of the executive branch of government and also leader of the legislature on the basis of a majority vote. A Prime minister appoints his ministers to oversee various functions of the executive machinery.

The president's degree of executive power in a parliamentary democracy may range from being
reasonably significant (e.g. Pakistan)
to little (e.g. India)
or none at all (eg. Ireland).
