[edit] Inconsistency

The articles on semi-presidential system and presidential system say that France is a semi-presidential system. Yet this one mentions it as a presidential-system

I don't think "semi-presidential system" is an officially used term. Wouter Lievens 11:11, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

You're right: it isn't an official term. It's used by scholars. It refers to a Presidential system that's tempered by such mechanisms as a Parliament, as is the case in the French example. France, in basic terms, is a republic, but while the USA would be described as a republic with a President, the French system, due to its parliamentary remnants, cannot as easily be described in such a way.

[edit] Work in progress

This article was moved from the page on "Cohabitation" that I made in 2003, which has since been converted to something else. I only recently bothered to revive it, and as such it'll take me a while to get it back on its feet. Any help on this would be appreciated. Nach0king 23:52, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Any moderations to the text i recently added are appreciated. (AshleyHouston 17:10, 26 February 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Ukraine

The semi-presidential system exists in Ukraine, and Viktor Yushchenko, had to put his rival as Prime Minister, Viktor Yanukovych. Nothing about that? How the cohabitation is called over there? 82.240.207.81 18:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Globalize?

With all respect, "globalizing" this article makes as much sense as globalizing an article on the Seine. If one reads the article, he finds that cohabitation can only occur under a very specific set of circumstances which exist only in a limited number of countries. To date, it has only occured a few times, and those instances are well documented here. But even if the instances were not all mentioned, it wouldn't require mentioning them all, since all this article needs to do is explain and show some examples, which it does rather well. Per the above, I am removing the tag. Unschool 19:19, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
