But... David Cameron has powers over the rest of Parliament including the veto, meaning he can refuse any laws that he does not see fit. The reason why this is not done so often is because the Prime Minister may become unpopular. This refusal usually happens when one of the opposing parties give out a piece of legislation that goes against the policies of the government at the moment. This is the powers that the executive have over the Legislation.
The Judiciary, on the other hand people think is totally separate but it’s not. The main connection here is between the top part of the Judiciary (Here I mean the Supreme Court) and the Executive. An example of this is the Leverson Inquiry that was held by Lord Justice Leverson (One of the 9 Supreme Court members) Part of it was to look into the relationship between the higher members of government and the press. The Judiciary can look over the effectiveness of parliament by holding reviews as seen and are able to criticise them. The executive on the other hand can examine the Judiciary on the way that they interpret the law.
This I hope helps clear things up.
