I feel parliamentary form of government is better as though it takes lots of time to decide on a single issue but if for the right decisions little time is invested then it is totally worthy of it where it is not so in presidential system.

I think parliamentary form of government is more better, as every decision is taken collectively by the representatives of the people belonging to different states.

I think, India should adopt some features of presidential form, like France which had been successfully working under a mixed form, the prime minister would continue to head the domestic policies while president can be responsible for the foreign policies and both of the two executives can can act as an effective check on one another.

An a system of dual executive, both having their power from the people is more democratic than having a prime minister who influences and wields a huge power or a president who is the sole executive power like that in USA. According to me a mixed form would be the most effective system in India context.

I think parliamentary form of government is better as because US which follows presidential form is ranked 19 th most corrupt country while India is ranked 94 th most corrupt. There are many more such examples. Which can prove this fact.

With the experience of more than 60 years of the parliamentary system, the situation is disappointing in every walk, hence even after considering some demerits of the presidential system, it is superior & should be accepted. It will curb the present chaos & corruption to a large extent.

Presidential form of Government is inarguably the need of the hour for India because this form of government does away with this new concept of "proxy head of state" which has been the reason for India's recent woes. Moreover having 100+ parties competing at the national level make the election process complicated and cumbersome rather than offering more choices to voters as is perceived because the major player in Indian politics are just a few parties.

On the other hand the presidential form of elections is a fight between two leaders and the voters have a clear cut idea about whom the are voting for. This leaves no room for last minute change of power and leaves no room for defecation.

Hi folks, according to my view for a country like India vesting absolute power in hands of one person can be a risky venture as Lord Acton said" Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". I am not saying that parliamentary system is corruption free.

But if we people of India join together to force our government to apply proper norms and restrictions and work together then we can make this system a success. Lokpal introduced recently if implemented judiciously can prove to be success. We have NOTA option also to use of electoral choice wisely if we don't find any candidate worthy to be selected. So by applying proper rules we can make our democratic system a success.

As for my opinion presidential from of government is correct in India. Because in parliamentary government there is distributed powers among the leaders. No one has specific powers to development throw their ways. So it is delay the process towards the light. Our friend said that India is in second place in population but the first one China follows the presidential government and it still development is possible in it.

I think parliamentary form of government is better as these are participation by people in the decision making process and government by consent. One of the commonly attributed advantages of parliamentary system is that it is faster and easier to pass legislation, as the executive branch is dependent on the direct and indirect support of legislative branch and often includes members of legislature. Thus the executive has a majority of the votes, enabling them to pass legislation. In a parliamentary system, with a collegial executive, power is more divided.

A presidential system ensures that the president need not bother about losing his/her seat due to opposition from legislators with vested interests. The president will be able to take tough and long lasting decisions and the stability of the government will ensure a stable and vibrant economy with consistent growth in all sectors.

The president's powers and authority will not be misused because of a powerful and independent judiciary.
