* The Western European parliamentary model (e.g., Spain, Germany) tends to have a more consensual debating system and usually has semi-circular debating chambers. Consensus systems have more of a tendency to use [[proportional representation]] with [[open party list]]s than the Westminster Model legislatures. The committees of these parliaments tend to be more important than the [[plenary chamber]]. Most Western European countries do not employ strict monism, and allow extra-parliamentary ministers as a matter of course. The Netherlands, Slovakia and Sweden outright implement the principle of [[dualism (politics)|dualism]] as a form of [[separation of powers]], where Members of Parliament have to resign their place in Parliament upon being appointed (or elected) minister.
