You want the real score? PGMA does not want to leave the presidency after the expiration of her term and JDv and the other brats in Congress ar too comfy in their seats to oppose.

The technical term for it is a democratic republic so a lot of ppl like to argue it is not a democracy; but, actually it is.\n\nThere are many different forms of democracies with the basic concept applying when the will of the ppl is heard.\n\nIn a republic like ours, we do have this. We elect officials to speak the will of the ppl... to represent the ppl; therefore, we are a democracy. \n\nThe difference between our democracy and say a direct democracy is that we elect regional representatives to do the work, study and research for us in order to make informed choices.

Our democracy (as it is in the UK and the US) is seriously flawed.  There is a two party state and a lot of unelected officials wielding power but, ultimately, we can hold governments accountable and throw them out if we don't like them.

This is my favorite type of question, so I'll answer with another question.  Why do we send billions overseas to help other countries when we have so many problems at home?  The real answer to this and many other questions like it is that we as a society let "our" elected officals make choices for us, that's why we are a Republic.  I wish we could have some kind of utopian country where we're a true democracy and the people voted on a budget that is proposed to them by their elected officals.  However it could never happen, we can even agree on Coke or Pepsi.

Prime Minister and a Parliament.

Our government is a Republic, which in the U.S. is a representative Democracy.  We elect our Congressional delegates, our representatives, to pass laws by which we will govern ourselves.

I don't live in a country that has a pariamentary system of government, but my understanding is that you can't select a prime minister - you vote for a party (or a slate of candidates from a party) and the party picks the prime minister.

I personally don't want any one person to be able to make a bill into a law.  Hello, that is why we have the three branches of government so we don't have a dictatorship!!  Bad idea!!

Similar governments have similar effects, and similar control by the public.  Both Canada and the US have an elected representative form of government, just like England.  The people elect those politicians that most closely represent their point of view.  We then trust those politicians to vote, as we would want them to.  It doesn't always happen in that way though.\n\nOne difference between our government and the Parliamentary form of government is how the leadership is determined and who is government’s leader (the President or the Prime Minister).  A Prime Minister is elected from the ruling party, but a coalition (some sort of agreement) has to be made with the other parties.  If a majority of the Parliament no long wants the Prime Minister to rule (like after and election and a change in ruling parties) then a new vote can be called for and the Prime Minister can be replaced.\n\nIn the United States the only way the President can be changed is when there is an election (once every four years) or when the President performs an illegal act and is convicted in an impeachment trial.\n\nIf the United States had a Parliamentary form of government then the two houses would elect the President and he (or she) would only be in power as long as his party held the majority of power in both houses.  When President Reagan was in his second term the Democrats held power in both Houses of Congress.  This caused some difficulty between the Executive Branch and the Legal Branch.  If the US used a Parliamentary system then President Reagan would have been forced out of power and a new, and Democratic President (who would have to come from one of the Houses of Congress) would have been elected.\n\nOur founding fathers decided that it was more important to have a strong and independent President so they made his election directly responsible to the people, and gave him strength to resist a strong Congress.  Each system has its strengths and weaknesses.  Ronald Reagan was one of our best presidents, especially in his second term when he made the Democratic controlled Congress tow the line and submit a balanced budget.  He couldn’t have done this in a Parliamentary form of government, because the Democrats would have removed him.

No, no.  Take away elected representation and what are you left with?  The executive, the courts and the media.  Who is to hold the law that the executive puts forward up to scrutiny and account?  Corporations?  I'm sorry but you are being profoundly anti-democratic and short sighted.\n\nI agree there is a problem with the current system.  (There is an argument that we have too many M.P.s and although not one I have sympathy with, it is an argument with merit).  Part of the answer to current problems though is to strengthen the powers of Parliament at the expense of the government rather than weaken it.

as a whole I see my country a very cultural place to be in because you discover many things from just visiting one place.Sadly our country has been divided by many groups who cannot settle on one idea to improve the country most politicians want their power just for their own self interest and not for the people. Theirs too much politics. Well at least I see a good a future under the PGMA's governance, our economy is appreciating. I see the Filipino citizens very LAZY and that one factor why the country is not improving, also another is the poor education.

It is a type of goverment where the people are represented. Democracy is just one type, and I can't say that the kind in England and Canada don't do the same thing. Many times in Indian villages, the chief would listen to his people and act upon what they thought. This is another type of representitive goverment.

The two party system is as old as the country itself.  actually, it is patterened after the house of commons in merry ole England.  If you think our party system is volitile, you should see and hear the antics used over there.  the two party system works as well as any other, probably better, given its longevity. I vote that we leave it alone except for one factor, that is popular vote.  I believe that we should still base our outcomes on the popular vote of this country.  In this way, the people have truly spoken! By the way, the hell with abroad.  We owe no other nation, or group of people, an explanation as to the domestic decisions of this country.

If it aint broke don't fix it. There are virtues in a parliamentary democracy but the negative side is that parties become too strong. \nThe US system which limits presedential terms works just fine with a semblance of power between Congress, the Executive and the Judiciary.

because each country has its own rules and laws and its own way of running things, like different types of governments. Democracy, Republic, Dictatorship and so on. Also because some countries arent open to the public (they don't want people coming in or maybe going out) in the long run there are many reasons

To prevent a tyranical abuse of power, maintain the US as a republic instead of a dictatorship, and to provide weights and balances in passing special interest laws.\n\nThis is one reason
