Parliamentary republic with brute majority would feel like a dictatorship. There's no real seperation of legislative and executive branches. Judiciary largely plays to win post retirement careers. But that usually gets fixed after an election or two. Democracies are often compared to China or Singapore on how they are inefficient in addressing long term issues. A parliamentary republic is a fair compromise between an autocracy and a gridlocked presidential republic like in US. If a brute majority mandate is used well, a party can bring along revolutionary changes in short notice.

I agree, but if the brute majority is not used well or if it is used to further individuals motives than the collective then they are not good.To practice Democracy, is the ability to question the usage of funds. Also dilution of institutions is quite worrisome even the supreme court judges have said this.
