  • just a qus how do people ensure collective responsibility of cabinet ?? Can they bring adjurnment motion etc ??? Its d COM which is responsible to loksabha nd there by indirectly responsible to people... dats wht written in constitution..
    Just to add : Cabinet is a subset of CoM of minister. Isme mat confuse ho jaana.
    Bhaii log qstn hi nahi samjhe. Ki usme likha tha "Cabinet form of govt" , jiska matlab "parliamentary form" and "COM" bhi hai.
    Wo abhi bhi Cabinet and COM k difference ki peepdi baja rahe hai.
    This stupidity is a serious turn off.
    Exactly. I have read D D Basu many times since start of prep. And it is mentioned there at many places that Parliamentary and Cabinet form of government is synonymous. They are used interchangeably. Wahi soch ke I marked that responsibility wala option.

    I found speeding up things wala option absurd during exam. Sorry, but no offence intended.

    Apart from that, Vairam's polity answers are rarely wrong.
  • according to the comments by the seniors, scores when compared to last year have dropped by 15-20 marks or even more this year. going by the same analogy i feel the cut off should lie between 98 and 102
  • just a qus how do people ensure collective responsibility of cabinet ?? Can they bring adjurnment motion etc ??? Its d COM which is responsible to loksabha nd there by indirectly responsible to people... dats wht written in constitution..
    Just to add : Cabinet is a subset of CoM Council of minister. Isme mat confuse ho jaana.
    and more thing, Collective responsibility means, ki even if one minister loses his confidence in HoP then the CoM has to go.

    i know that... chutiya maat samjoo :D so why cabinet?? we already hav council of minister..
    Bhai tumhe directly nahi bol rha tha.. sorry if you felt that way.
    But things need to be said explicitly many times. Nahi to faltu he debates hoti rehti hai ek-ek question pe.

    No he is saying cabinet form of government = parliamentary form of government
  • bhai dekho as per shankar 112 aa rahe hai. Boundary par hu.

    Boundary is a subjective term much like this year's paper :p

    Cabinet may also be for speeding of things for CoM, among other advantages.

    But Cabinet Form of government is different. Our and British system is called Cabinet Form of government or Parliamentary system in all types of parlance. Had it asked for need of Cabinet in CoM, speeding up things would definitely have been correct. But not in case of Cabinet Form of Government
