One chief censure and advantage of many
Parliamentary processes is that the top of
government is in nearly all sheathes not directly
elected.
In a Presidential election process, the President is
under normal condition selected by the electorate,
or a given of electorate straightly picked by the
people, detached from the legislature.
Nevertheless, in a Parliamentary process the Prime
minister is selected by the legislature, frequently
underneath the charismatic political party
leadership. For instance look at Iraqi parliamentary
election: In 2010 election ended up with several
weeks - long wait for announcement of the results of
election by the Iraqi Election commission.
The results of the elections finally came on March
6, 2010; when Allawi ‘s Iraqiya bloc was declared
the biggest winner of the Parliamentary election
with two seats more than the contender Nouri al –Maliki
‘s party in the Assembly. However; Maliki was still
able to maneuver to gain the trust of smaller
political parties add on to his bloc,www.ekurd.net
for majority seats , he specially made empty
promises’ to the Kurdish Political Parties with
acceptance article 140 implementation; ( ex oil
minister Hussain al-Shahristani now he is a Deputy
Prime Minister for energy, who does not know how
shut up when it comes to oil deal in Kurdistan, )
the imposture Maliki knows oil contract is part of
article 140, but still allows Mr. Sharistani such
imprudent behaviors.
In the United States ‘elections, the nominees for
the party top leaderships are decided mostly by
party members, or party loyalists, but when it comes
to for final elections everybody in the United
States, have the right to participate in the final
election, the swing voters decide who wins the
election by direct vote for Presidency of the United
States, whether he or she is belong to particular
party or not belong to any particular group.
Another principal animadversion of the Parliamentary
direct process accurately in its claimed benefit,
that there is no actually independent body to oppose
or veto legislation passed by the Parliament and
therefore no essential check and balance on
legislative Power. On the contrary, because of the
lack of intrinsic detachment of the powers; many
people think that the parliamentary process able to
extra power in the executive branch, leading to the
susceptible that the legislature or judiciary have
little range to overview check and balance on the
executive.
In a presidential process for election, the
President is mostly chosen indirectly from the
legislature. If the President and legislature in
such a system include members entirely or
predominantly from different political parties, then
the deadlock can occur. Consequently, the executive
within a presidential system might not be able to
suitably fulfill his or her platform/ system.
