to their inherent conflicting natures. Meanwhile, in parliamentary democracies such as the United Kingdom, prime ministers are elected by coalitions and although coalitions are based off multiple parties and divergent ideas they still have to give up certain concessions to form the majority. This calls for a smoother process while processing legislation. Moreover, when the prime minister loses the favor of the parliamentary majority, the parties must negotiate the terms for a new coalition and…

Introduction Luxembourg and Sweden are oft-overlooked countries in Europe. Each one has its own special charm, and something that truly defines its people. When one thinks of Luxembourg, the country’s wealth often comes to mind. With Sweden, the pop group ABBA jumps out. Regardless, something that binds these two countries together is the structure of their governments. They share very similar characteristics across their democratic institutions, which makes any difference significantly…

Both the Prime Minister (PM), who is the elected leader and their appointed Cabinet make up the executive power (Canadian Ministry) within the Parliamentary system (329). Cooperation between the executive and legislative branches (House of Commons and Senate) is necessary for the government to function properly and efficiently.

power to facilitate change. Lastly, current Prime Minister of Australia, Malcolm Turnbull, was a former chairman of the Australian Republican Movement, and is now in the position to influence public opinion on policies and control the composition of the cabinet and the ministry (Department of the House of Representatives, 2012). Ultimately, I have chose to primarily target Turnbull for various reasons. Shortly after replacing Tony Abbott as Prime Minister, Turnbull declared that he would not…

for people as it is not the way we live our lives and this is perhaps the reason there is such a big wedge and difference between politics, politicians and people, for most people a sense of honesty underpins the way we deal with each other. Prime ministers ask the public to place their trust in them, but it is difficult to do so when they do not even trust their own political parties. Politicians cheat and deceit not only the people they are meant to lead and protect but also their own…
