Of course not; it's "technocratic"!

Gustaf's points are very valid, and I'll just add onto them. Negotiated cabinets like those in the  French republics at least had popular representatives in them. I have yet to see one MP in Monti's cabinet.

We have to remember that the parliamentary system is not inherently democratic; it only became democratic through legislation enfranchising the masses.
