explain what do you mean by collective responsibility of council of minister ?
Answers
By the term 'collective responsibility', it means that the Council of Ministers swim and sink as a team. They take office together, defend each other together, and leave together.
If the head of the Council of Ministers i.e. Prime Minister has a no-confidence motion passed against him, his entire team of Ministers must resign.
If any of the Ministers' proposed bills are not passed in entirety by the lower house, the Council of Ministers must resign collectively.
A minister can voice his own opinion and views only during the Cabinet meetings, but on the floor of the House, he must support the PM and defend the decisions of the Council of Ministers, irrespective of his personal beliefs.
Simply put, Collective Responsibility means that all the Ministers are collectively responsible before the legislature for all acts of commission and omission of the Executive. Every minister must defend each other and the policies of the PM till the end.
It also means that the decisions bind all cabinet ministers and other ministers in a common sense of duty, even if they have a difference of opinion on particular policy.
Hope it helps.
