The principle which requires members of the executive to resign when a governmental proposal is defeated in the parliament is known as
delegated legislation
individual responsibility
devolutionary powers
collective responsibility
Explicació
collective responsibility; means decisions made by the Cabinet are binding on all members of the Government. This means that if a minister disagrees with a government policy, he or she must still publicly support it. A minister is able to express their views and disagree privately, but once a decision has been made by the Cabinet, it is binding on all members of the Government. A minister who cannot abide by collective responsibility is expected to resign
