The head of state in a cabinet system is a virtual head of state.

The parliamentary system, also known as the cabinet system, is a type of democratic political system. It is characterized by its support for the head of the government, and this support is implemented in two ways: first, after the parliamentary election second, the head of government won a vote of confidence in the parliament. Therefore, the head of government whose party fails to win the parliamentary election must resign together with his cabinet, and the head of government whose party fails to pass the parliamentary confidence vote must also resign together with his cabinet. The parliament will re-elect the new head of state and cabinet through consultations among the parties with the majority of seats. Under a parliamentary system, the power of the head of government (general prime minister) is generally greater.

In countries with this political system, the legislative and executive branches are not completely separated. Parliament is the center of state power. Parliamentary democracy is generally implemented in democratic countries, so there are multiple political parties participating in parliamentary elections. In a parliamentary cabinet system, the head of government (executive head) is separate from the head of state. The head of state usually has a ceremonial position and does not enjoy actual administrative power. Its power is generally limited to appointing the majority party in parliament. The leader or the leader of a multi-party political alliance serves as the Prime Minister of the Government.
