Conclusion
In conclusion, we may say that both systems have merits and demerits. While public opinion has better chance to influence the government's policies and decisions in the Parliamentary system, the Presidential system is more successful in providing political stability.
The Presidential system in the US and the Parliamentary system in Britain have been more or less equally successful in giving prosperity and security to their respective people.
Any system of government will succeed if different organs of government work sincerely and follow the rules of the game. Another critical factor in this regard is the awareness and alertness of people.
