If there is disagreement in Cabinet on a policy what does collective responsibility mean?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Once decided, ministers must support the government decision

Direct answer: A is correct. Collective responsibility means that after the Cabinet discusses an issue and reaches a decision, all ministers are expected to accept and publicly support that decision. A minister may express disagreement inside the Cabinet while discussion is taking place, but the government must present a united position outside it. This principle keeps the Council of Ministers coordinated and makes it answerable to Parliament as one team. If a minister cannot support the final decision, the usual democratic convention is to resign rather than openly oppose the Cabinet line while remaining in office. Option A correctly describes Cabinet solidarity. B is wrong because ministers do not run completely separate governments; their departments work within common government policy. C is unrelated: the Prime Minister does not leave Parliament because of disagreement. D is unrelated because vote counting is an election function, not the meaning of collective responsibility. Memory cue: discuss separately, defend together.
