One of the key constitutional features of a parliamentary democracy
is that the political executive, or cabinet, derives its mandate
from - and is politically responsible to - the legislature. What
makes a parliamentary democracy democratic is that, once a
legislative election has been held, the new legislature has the
power to dismiss the incumbent executive and replace it with a new
one. Moreover, it sits essentially as a court, passing continual
judgement on the record of the executive, and continuous sentence
on its future prospects. That is how citizens, indirectly, choose
and control their government. But the relationship between
legislature and executive is not one-sided. The executive typically
has the authority to recommend dissolution of parliament and is
usually drawn from the parliament. Executive personnel, therefore,
have intimate familiarity with parliamentary practices; and for
their part, parliamentary personnel aspire to executive
appointments. Surprisingly little is known about the constitutional
relationship between legislature and executive in parliamentary
regimes; the present volume seeks to remedy this.
