A '''parliamentary republic''', unlike a direct democracy or constitutional republic, is a system of representative government in which the people elect their representatives in a national [[legislature]], and the legislature then chooses its own [[executive]] from the dominant [[political party]].
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.
[[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]]).
