Why is a Cabinet's collective decision considered more important than an individual minister's decision?

Correct answer: Because it shows joint responsibility and agreement of the government

Correct answer: A. In a parliamentary system, the Cabinet is the central decision-making body within the Council of Ministers. A major policy may affect several departments, public money and the government’s wider programme. Collective discussion allows ministers to examine different effects, coordinate departments and reach a common position. The principle of collective responsibility also means that the government stands together before the legislature for decisions taken in its name. A is correct because it connects Cabinet decisions with shared agreement and joint responsibility. B is wrong: the Cabinet belongs to the political executive, not the judiciary. C is unfair and factually wrong; an individual minister may understand a policy well, but major decisions still require coordination. D is wrong because the Election Commission has a separate constitutional role and is not replaced by the Cabinet. Memory cue: Cabinet means common decision and common responsibility.
