The main advantage of the parliamentary form of government is that
A
the executive and legislature work independently.
B
it provides continuity of policy and is more efficient.
C
the executive remains responsible to the legislature.
Correct Answer
D
the head of the government cannot be changed without election.
Explanation
The parliamentary system is based on the core concept of **collective responsibility**, where the executive (Council of Ministers) is drawn from and remains directly accountable to the legislature for its acts and policies. Option (C) is correct because this continuous accountability ensures that the government cannot function without the confidence of the people's representatives. Option (B) is a common distractor but actually describes a Presidential system, which offers greater policy continuity due to the executive's fixed tenure, whereas parliamentary governments can be more unstable.
