Why is neutrality of permanent executive necessary in parliamentary democracy?

Correct answer: So it can fairly implement policies of changing elected governments

Answer: A. Permanent executive officials are expected to serve the constitutional government impartially, even when the elected government changes after an election. Their political neutrality helps preserve continuity, professional advice and equal application of laws. They implement the lawful policies of the government chosen by the people; they do not decide which political party should rule. Option B is wrong because officials are not the elected government and should not form one themselves. Option C is wrong because ministers remain responsible for policy while officials assist in administration. Option D is wrong because Parliament must continue questioning and supervising the executive. A useful warning is that neutrality does not mean disobeying every policy; it means applying lawful decisions fairly without party bias.
