The main disadvantage often quoted about a parliamentary system is the very indirect election of the executive, and in Republics this is compounded by the quite often direct election of the non-executive President.


************************************************** ********


The Parliamentary form of government is characterized by ambiguous separation of power between executive and legislative branch. It clearly differentiated between head of government and head of state. Head of government is the Prime minister and head of state is the President.
Following are the demerits of this system:

- The head of government is not directly elected.
- There is no check on the legislative power of the parliament.
- people with popular community support can be prevented from becoming prime minister if they can not get elected to the parliament.
- Prime ministers can lose their positions if they lose their seats in parliament.
