What about Westminster style democracy for Middle East?
The Westminster system is a democratic parliamentary system.
Head of state usually a monarch or president is a ceremonial figure head who is the theoretical, nominal source of executive power within the system. In practice, such a figure does not actively exercise executive powers.
(Those Royal Middle East families can stay as Head of state’s but limited to ceremonial role)
The head of democratic government known as the Prime Minister (PM), While the head of government is appointed by the head of state, the constitutional convention is that the person appointed must be supported by the majority of elected Members of democratic Parliament.
If more than half of elected parliamentarians belong to the same political party, then the person appointed is typically the head of that party.
Cabinet ministers will be appointed by the head of government the Prime Minister, the cabinet made up of members of the Parliament.
Executive authority within a Westminster System is essentially exercised by the Cabinet of ministers, although the head of government Prime Minister usually has the dominant role within the Cabinet.
Prime Minister will ideally have the support of a majority in the Parliament and he must in any case be able to ensure the existence of no absolute majority against his government.
The democratic government elected for a five-year term.
An Parliamentary opposition party (a Multi-party system).
Parliament with an ability to dismiss a government by rejecting a budget or passing a motion of no confidence against the government.
The Westminster system enables a government to be defeated and forced into general elections to independently of a new government being chosen.
Parliamentary privilege, which allows the Legislature to discuss any issue deemed by itself to be relevant, without fear of consequences stemming from defamatory statements or records thereof.
Minutes of meetings, often known as Hansard, including ability for the legislature to strike discussion from these minutes.
Parliamentary members elected by democratic elections.
