JAMB - Government (1991 - No. 18)

In the parliamentary system, when the parliament defeats a major government bill, the
prime minister dissolves parliament
entire cabinet resigns
speaker resigns
opposition immediately forms a new government

Explanation

In the parliamentary system, when a parliament defeats a major government bill, the entire cabinet resigns. This is because the cabinet is responsible for the formulation and implementation of government policy, and the defeat of a major bill is a clear indication that the government has lost the confidence of the parliament. In such a situation, it is customary for the entire cabinet, including the prime minister, to resign.
