Changes

Although initially Prime Ministers usually reflected a given party winning, some countries began to merge and blend Presidential systems with that of a Parliamentary system, whereby the Prime Minister was sometimes directly elected (e.g., Israel). Some countries, such as France, have a dual system of President and Prime Minister, where sometimes one has more power than the other or the two co-exist as a type of check and balance situation. Most of the world's government have emulated and/or modified the British system, although in North and South America many countries there use the Presidential system similar to the United States.
