97 - Our semi-parliamentary system
Manage episode 367443921 series 2364337
Ben is joined by Professor Steffen Ganghof from the University of Potsdam to discuss his book Beyond Presidentialism and Parliamentarism. Steffen discusses an alternative model of democracy he calls "semi-parliamentarism" which can gain the benefits of presidentialism in having a part of the legislature independent of the government, without investing executive power in a single person. And the best examples of this model can be found here in Australia.
Our conversation has relevance to debates around the role of Australia's upper houses and is a fresh outside perspective on how they improve Australia's democracy.
