A comparative analysis of western world parliamentary systems shows how the transformations which take place within mature democracies are to be considered of great significance. In order to rationalize legislative power, a primacy of government over parliament takes place, in particular in competitive systems. Many students conclude that legislative activity stays within parliaments only formally; substantially are governments which decide. Since forms of direct democracy do not work, attention should be concentrated on old and new forms of political participation. Only a modern participation of parties, social movements, pressure groups and so on can avoid parliaments to remain wanting in legislative action.
