Lewis, I don't think Parliamentary republics do have better accountability than Presidential systems. The checks and balances are just flat out lacking in parliamentary systems because the executive is in the lower house. In unicameral parliaments it is even worse.
Ah, well I'm about to argue that due to proportional representation in NZ's unicameral parliament, we should avoid that problem (as is the case in Germany, upon whom NZ bases its electoral system).
