Euro-centric

I have to believe we're not the only ones that rely on a non-parliamentary system, no? -- RobLa (talk) 01:13, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Government formation is specifically a function of systems that have fusion of powers such as most parliamentary systems, where the term "government" refers specifically to the executive. In the U.S. and other systems with separation of powers, the term "government" refers to the entirety of all branches, and government formation is neither a term or a concept that is used.

Would it be possible to rename this page Parliamentary government formation? -- RobLa (talk) 04:26, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Government formation doesn't exist in non-parliamentary systems, so no disambiguation is needed. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 05:48, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
