Merits and Demerits of the Parliamentary Form of Govt.

Merits:-

1. Harmony between Executive and Legislature:


In a Parliamentary form of a government, there is a close harmony and
corporation between the executive and a legislature. As ministers belong to the
ruling party or parties enjoying majority set up of the legislature, they do not
face much difficulty in getting the support and approval of the legislature for the
policies and program of the government. There is less confrontation between the
executive and the legislature.
2. Responsible and Clean:
While the Council of Ministers as a whole is responsible for the legislature,
the individual ministers are also individually responsible for it for their
respective acts of omission and commission. Being Conscious of this, they are to
remain ‘clean’. The opposition, being the watchdog of the government, will
expose a corrupt/inefficient government.
3. People’s Government:
The Parliamentary executive has been acclaimed as the real government of
people because the members of the legislature, as representatives of the people,
draw the attention of the House to the problems of people. Further during
election, political parties raise various issues of people. The government is
significantly influenced by public opinion.
4. Quick Decision Making:
Lord Bryce has praised the Parliamentary form of government for its capacity
to take quick decisions. As the ruling party enjoys majority support in the
legislature, it can take swift decisions to meet any contingency.
5. Flexible:
6. Conductive to National System:
7. Educational Value:
