A parliamentary democracy is a form of government in which the people elect representatives to a parliament or legislative body to make decisions on their behalf. The parliamentarians or elected representatives are responsible for creating and passing laws and policies that reflect the needs and values of their constituents.

In a parliamentary democracy, the government is responsible to the parliament, and it is the parliament that has the power to remove the government if it loses its confidence. The government is formed by the majority party or coalition in the parliament, and it is accountable to the parliament for its actions.

The balance of popular participation and elite rule takes place in a parliamentary democracy because the people have the power to elect their representatives to the parliament, and the representatives are expected to represent their constituents' interests. However, the representatives are also part of the political elite, and they are expected to think and act on behalf of the broader public interest, not just their own constituents.

Overall, a parliamentary democracy is a system that aims to balance the needs and desires of the people with the expertise and experience of the political elite, creating a form of government that is responsive to the public while also capable of making informed and effective decisions.
