- Abstract
The article aimed to compare the British and Kuwaiti parliamentary models, using a comprehensive methodology based on the descriptive analytical approach and the comparative approach. The study concluded the success of the British parliamentary experience, which was established over hundreds of years. It evolved from the absolute authority of the ruler derived from the theory of divine right, leading to the consolidation of public freedoms and rights by the laws that were issued successively, which resulted in saying that the British Parliament truly represents all groups of the British people as emanating from it, and the fact that the executive authority is represented by the constitutional monarch who owns and does not rule, and the ministry that emanates from the majority party in Parliament. As for the Kuwaiti parliamentary experience, it can be said that, despite its recentness, which did not exceed 100 years since the independence of Kuwait (1961), and the existing social structure in this country, the contributions of the Kuwaiti National Assembly in the democratic transition can be easily noted, while recognizing the need for a long period of time to pass in order for the democratic practice of the parliament to be consolidated, and the obstacles surrounding this experience to be removed. In light of the results obtained, the study recommended allowing the existence of legitimate political parties in Kuwait, regulated by a law for parties, whose objectives are to ripen the partisan experience and pave the way for the establishment of parliamentary governments emanating from the partisan majority that has the highest votes in the Kuwaiti National Assembly, improving the relationship between the Kuwaiti National Assembly and the executive authority by easing political pressure on the parliament by the government, which contributes to the completion of the sessions of the legislative chapters in Kuwait for a full four-year period according to Article (83) of the Constitution of Kuwait promulgated in 1962.
