Merger of power
Merger of power - the phenomenon of the actual (but not the formal) takeover by the government of the powers of the parliament. It occurs in the Westminster model of the Parliamentary-Cabinet regime.
The condition for the merger of power is a two-party party system (therefore - one-party government) and the merger of the prime minister and leader of the winning party. In this situation the prime minister has a disciplined parliamentary majority. So he can lead his policy, being a certain support of the parliament. This, however, does not have the potential to influence the government's policy (despite the formally large powers).
An example of a fusion of authority is the United Kingdom. Bibliography
