I Found this Statement on the Internet and it interested me in what everyone would think. Do you agree or disagree and why. A presidential system is more democratic than a parliamentary.

Britain has a parliamentary system, and the U.S. has a presidential system, and France has BOTH. These are all "systems," but that is not what determines how democratic a country is. For example, in OUR "presidential" system WE don't elect the President; the Electoral College does, so how "democratic" is that?

I agree that a presidential system is more democratic than a parliamentary. In the presidential system, it gives full access to the people to participate in all issues concerning the government and the passing of the contents of the constitution. Whereas in parliamentary, it leaves a little participation of the people, for there is a great changes in the constitution....the power from the sovereign people will be passed on to a sole authority.

If the person who holds power and control is an autocrat himself, it makes little difference whether it is presidential system or parliamentary. he has the power to do anything to tip everything in his favour.
