Generally, political parties in parliamentary republics are very popular.  The government may have a constitution, but generally, parliamentary republics pattern themselves on the [[Westminster]] model under which the government is bound by [[Common Law]], rather than an enumerated legal document.

The [[United Kingdom]] is a parliamentary republic: citizens vote for their "members of Parliament," and the political party with the largest percentage hold of [[Parliament]] then selects its leader to be [[Prime Minister]].  For the past decade, the [[Labor Party]] has been the dominant party in England, and the Party has selected [[Tony Blair]], then [[Gordon Brown]], as Prime Minister.

[[Ireland]] is a parliamentary republic: citizens vote for their members of the Dáil ([[Parliament]]), and the political party or coalition with the largest percentage hold of the Dáil then selects its leader to be Taoiseach ([[Prime Minister]]).
