| | Parliament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Parliaments can be contrasted with congresses in the model of the United States. | | | A nation's prime minister ("PM") is almost always the leader of the majority party in the lower house of parliament, but only holds his or her office as long as the "confidence of the house" is maintained. | | | If members of parliament lose faith in the leader for whatever reason, they can often call a vote of no confidence and force the PM to resign. |
