Democratic Alliance (Bulgaria)
The Democratic Alliance ( bg, Демократически сговор) was a Bulgarian party that existed between 1923 and 1934 when all parties were banned.

Parliamentary Elections In Bulgaria
A parliamentary system, or parliamentarian democracy, is a system of democratic governance of a state (or subordinate entity) where the executive derives its democratic legitimacy from its ability to command the support ("confidence") of the legislature, typically a parliament, to which it is accountable. In a parliamentary system, the head of state is usually a person distinct from the head of government. This is in contrast to a presidential system, where the head of state often is also the head of government and, most importantly, where the executive does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature. Countries with parliamentary systems may be constitutional monarchies, where a monarch is the head of state while the head of government is almost always a member of parliament, or parliamentary republics, where a mostly ceremonial president is the head of state while the head of government is regularly from the legislature. In a few parliamentary republics, amon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
