JAALS Conference 6.0

At least forty five percent of democracies around the world practice bicameralism whilst roughly fifty five percent have unicameral legislatures. Like us in Nigeria, virtually all federal entities have bicameral legislatures - Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Russia, Spain and the United States to name a few. Even some countries with unitary constitutions also have bicameral legislatures, the most prominent of which is the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and South Africa to name a few. If these countries are experiencing democratic recession or encountering bad governance, the explanatory factors may not necessarily be found in the type of legislative practice they have. It may just be on account of the deficit that has accompanied the wave of populism around the world or for other reasons unconnected to types of legislature.
