| 单词 | Westminster system |
| 释义 | 威斯敏斯特體制 The British system of representative government, usually termed responsible government, characterised by an executive council sitting within, and being responsible to, the legislature. Other elements of the Westminster system are a supreme executive authority, the Crown, which does not actively participate in government, and an independent judiciary. Legislative and executive powers are not separate. It is so called because the British Parliament sits at Westminster, now part of greater London. See also Separation of powers. 英國的代議政體，通常稱為責任政府，以向立法機構負責的執行委員會為特色。威斯敏斯特體制的其他要素包括最高行政機關、國王（並不積極參與政府事務）及司法獨立。立法及行政權力並不分離。該體制之所以如此命名，是因為英國議會位於威斯敏斯特，目前屬於大倫敦的一部份。另見 Separation of powers。 |
