Representative Government, Responsible Government and the Separation of Powers
A Constitutional Parliamentary Democracy is a form of government where the powers of the head of state and the head of government are separate, the government is elected by the people through democratic elections, and the constitution outlines the powers and limitations of the government.
Scotland has a Parliamentary form of Government, as does the rest of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. Although there is a Parliament based at Westminster (London) that covers the whole of the UK, Scotland has its' own Parliament with devolved powers (i.e. it carries sole responsibilty for a large amount of the government of Scotland, but has limited powers in some areas such as taxation).
Parliamentary Government is the 'fusion' of powers between the executive and parliament. The first feature of parliamentary government is that governments are formed as a result of parliamentary elections, based on the strength of party representation in the commons. The party with the majority in the Commons forms government. The second feature of parliamentary government is government can 'dissolve' parliament, meaning that electoral terms are flexible within the 5 year limit. This is known as the Prime Minister calling a general election.

parliamentary government
A parliamentary republic or parliamentary constitutional republic is a form of a republic which operates under a parliamentary system of government. In contrast to a presidential republic and the semi-presidential system, the head of state usually does not have broad executive powers as an executive president would, because much of those powers have been granted to a "head of government" (usually called a prime minister). However, the head of government and head of state may form one office in a parliamentary republic (such as South Africa and Botswana), but the president is still elected in much the same way as the prime minister is in most Westminster systems. This usually means that they are the leader of the largest party or coalition of parties in parliament. In some instances, the President may legally have executive powers granted to them to undertake the day-to-day running of government (as in Finland) but by convention they do not use these powers. Some parliamentary republics could therefore be seen as following the semi-presidential system but operating under a parliamentary system.
The head of the parliamentary government is called the Prime Minister.
