In the United States the President is elected directly by the people and Electoral College while primaries determine who the candidate will be from the two major parties. The president can be from any party or even an independent so long as they get enough votes, while in Australia the Prime Minister is the leader of either the [[Liberal Party of Australia]] or the [[Australian Labor Party]] and isn’t directly elected by the people ‘‘‘per se’’’ instead whichever party holds the majority in the House of Representatives, then that parties’ leader becomes the Prime Minister of Australia.  

In the United States the President is elected directly by the people. A system of Electoral Colleges and primary ballots determine who will be the candidate from each of the two major parties.

In recent parliaments the Prime Minister has been from either the Liberal or Labor parties.
