Document Summary
If you have a lot of divides in a country, this is a very important distinction. Ukraine"s presidency pits one side against another (russian state influence) But parliaments" pm"s are typically restrained and don"t have a ton of power. Ireland"s parliament"s most recent election resulted in too many even votes across parties currently doesn"t have a govt because of no majority. Chief executive is responsible to their party and legislature. Can be dismissed by a legislative vote of no-confidence. The terms of the pres and assembly are fixed and not contingent on mutual confidence. Pres names and directs the composition of govt. Majority run off (50% or greater, sometimes more) Alternative vote (same run off, but single ballot)
