Who is responsible for getting government policies implemented?

Correct answer: Executive

Correct answer: A, the executive. After a government policy is decided, it must be converted into action through departments, officers, rules and public programmes. The executive is responsible for this implementation. The political executive, including ministers, gives direction and remains answerable for the policy, while the permanent executive and administration help carry it out. A is correct because implementation is a central executive function. B is wrong because the judiciary interprets laws and gives judgments; it does not normally implement government policies. C is wrong because the opposition scrutinises and criticises the government but does not run its departments. D is wrong because the media informs the public and may question authorities, but it has no executive power. Memory cue: legislature makes laws, executive implements them, judiciary interprets them.
