Anti-Parliamentarism

Anti-parliamentarism is a political ideology that opposes the traditional parliamentary system of government. Supporters believe that parliamentary processes can hinder effective decision-making, promote inefficiency, or lead to the dominance of political parties rather than the people's will. Instead of fostering debate and compromise, they argue that parliamentary systems can result in gridlock and political maneuvering. Anti-parliamentarists may advocate for alternative governance models, such as direct democracy or strong executive leadership, emphasizing swift and decisive action rather than the negotiation and consensus often found in parliamentary structures.
