Author: eric_galvao



Answer:

-Executive is formed from the Legislature, so Members of the House of Commons and Lords makes up Government. This is the Fusion of Powers. Vs Members of Executive can not be Members of the Legislature as Separation of Power -Government can not take action with Parliament Approval, due to Parliamentary Sovereignty. Vs President Executes the Law and is not held back by Sovereignty of Legislature -Scrutiny of Executive occurs In Parliament via Parliamentary Questions on Floor of Both Chambers of Committees. Vs President can not be Summoned by Legislature so Scrutiny occurs Outside the Legislature via the Media as well as Inside it -PM needs their Parliamentary Majority and Cabinet Support to Remain at the Head. Vs President rely on Advisors but can chose to Ignore their Cabinet -No Direct Election for PM but elected as an MP like House of Commons. VS President is directly Elected and has a Separate Mandate from the Legislature Elected
