Unitary Parliamentary System

A unitary parliamentary system is a form of government where a single central authority holds most of the power, and local governments operate under its control. In this system, the parliament is the main legislative body, and the executive branch, usually led by a prime minister, is drawn from the parliament. This creates a close relationship between the legislature and the executive. Decisions are made by the central government, which can provide consistent policies, but may also limit local autonomy. Examples include the United Kingdom and Japan, where the central government plays a dominant role in governance.
