Parlementaire democratie

Parlementaire democratie, or parliamentary democracy, is a system where citizens elect representatives to a legislative body called a parliament. These representatives create laws and policies, and the government must have the parliament’s confidence to operate. The executive branch (prime minister and cabinet) is typically drawn from the legislative body, ensuring accountable governance. This system emphasizes elected representation, ongoing political debate, and the separation of powers. It promotes responsiveness to voters and allows changes in leadership through elections, fostering a political environment where government power derives from the elected will of the people.
