Better than the rest? Sorry, but parliamentary systems with the executive sitting in the parliament, answerable to the members, seem better than the American system. In Australia, we use the nickname "Washminster" to describe our delightful blend of Westminster and Washington approaches. Question Time might be messy, unpleasant and adversarial, but it's a much better way to hold the executive / legislative branches to account than the duelling, highly staged press conferences that dominate American political conversation.
