Parliamentary executive leaders
Prime ministers are heads of government in parliamentary systems, leading the executive branch and typically commanding a majority in the legislature.
Unlike presidents, they usually aren't directly elected by voters but emerge from party leadership.
The prime minister answers to parliament and can be removed by a vote of no confidence: The prime minister addressed the House of Commons.
