Question

Which of the following keeps a check on the Prime Minister?

• A. Opposition keeps a check on Political Executive
• B. Coalition Politics
• C. United Nations
• D. The Media

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A Opposition keeps a check on Political Executive
B Coalition Politics
D The Media

There are certain restrictions on the Prime Minister’s authority. The Opposition’s main job is to keep a check on the political executive. The second check comes from within the executive itself. The Prime Minister has to ensure support from members of all parties of the coalition. The third check comes from the media, which plays an equally important role in holding the Prime Minister and the Cabinet accountable for their decisions.
