  Hi Rodrigo,

This expression exists in my country(ies) also, but i don't see how i 
would apply to the current situation. I also don't see how it relates to 
the issues I brought up, but as your questions are quite challenging, 
I'll answer them;)

If "balance of power" (or "separation of powers") is truly applied, then 
the Parliament MUST NOT elect the government, and the government equally 
MUST NOT have power over the parliament. The perfect (still working) 
example is the USA, where the President elections are completely 
dissected from the parliament elections, and they have even a time 
shift, so if the President (executive) goes against the parliament 
(legislative) he'll have a huge problem if his party hasn't been given 
majority.
In countries where executive and legislatory power is linked together, 
however (like in Germany and all other Parliamentary Republic states), 
you don't have anything to say if you're in a minority in parliament, as 
neither the parliament NOR the executive has to listen to you in any way.

Best,
Boris
