In a Parliamentary system the executive leader of Parliament, known as the Prime Minister, is elected by the legislative branch and the majority party controlling it. The people of the country vote for the legislative branch and then they are in charge of selecting a Prime Minister to lead them and the executive branch. Should Parliament decide that they no longer like a Prime Minister than they can simply cast a vote to replace him (Long, 1949, p. 260). This system has multiple benefits that allows it to remain stable and provide for the people. One reason is that under a Parliament the legislative branch has a large control over the executive, forming them together as a larger group and allowing closer operation with one another. This means that laws can be passed easily by the legislative branch as the executive will be more likely to carry out the legislation and guarantee that it is put into effect.

By making it possible to keep the two branches of government from being the same party, the views of both parties can be shown and system of balance can be created between the two groups. Having these groups separate allows legislation to be agreed on by all types of people instead of those of a singular thought set or party. This system allows only the important and well agreed on legislation to pass but it can also lead to gridlock and infighting between the groups as they each wish to bring their own objectives into politics. Another reason why the Presidential system is stable is that there are multiple layers of checks and balances used in order to keep the government fair. By having the distinct separation of executive and legislative it allows legislation to be thoroughly checked and understood before
