Why is the executive called political?

Correct answer: Because its top positions are linked with people's election and party majority

Correct answer: A. The executive is called political because its leading office-holders are connected with elections, political parties and the majority in the legislature. In a parliamentary democracy, people elect representatives. The party or coalition that has majority support forms the government, and its leader usually becomes the Prime Minister. Ministers are political leaders who may change when elections change the government or when the ruling party changes its team. This is different from the permanent executive, such as civil servants, who continue in service even when political leaders change. Option A is correct because it connects the executive with the popular mandate and party majority. Option B is unrelated: running sports is not the meaning of political executive. Option C is wrong because political executives can change through elections or political decisions. Option D is wrong because courts do not form the political executive. Memory cue: political executive means elected or politically appointed leaders who are answerable to the people and legislature.
