How does the parliament exercise control over the cabinet?
Asked by Wiki User
Due to the so called fusion of powers within the UK political system the Prime minister has significant power over parliament. Combined the heavy whip system in force, the PMs power of patronage and a large parliamentary majority the PM is left with significant control in terms of domestic policy. However there are a system of 'checks and balences' in place which are in theory meant to balence the branches of government, i.e the legislature, executive and judicary.
Parliament can scruntise the work of the executive (PM) through committee work, primarily the work of departmental select committees. These committees scruntise the work of gov departments, ministers actions, departmental spendature etc. They can call for people, papers and records. Prime Ministers question time is another vital check on the PM. Ministers can 'interrogate' the pm and departmental ministers in these sessions. This process is hampered however by the fact questions must be submitted to the pm before hand and there have been time reductions in the Blair gov. A backbench rebellion is a further example of parliament holding the PM to account. This is where backbench MPs oppose government policy by voting against it. The extent to which this is used is determined by the majority the PMs party has in the commons e.g Jim Callaghans gov suffered 34 defeats due to a minority gov while Blair suffered only 4.
What is the process of lok sabha elections?
Asked by Aditirawat7568
Elections to Rajya sabha are conducted every 2 years.....The quota for each state is fixed as per Schedule 4 of the constitution...Elections to 1/3 rd of these seats occur every 2 years (that is the meaning of elections being staggered)
Suppose the election is for 3 seats. Let there be only 2 parties in d assembly...party A with 20 seats and party B with 10 seats... Both field 3 candidates each. To win, a candidate should have
find the quotient of No.of votes divided by (no.of seats + 1 )...add one to this quotient..
In this case, a candidate requires (30/4)+1...that is 8 votes to win.....
Election process
Members dont vote for each seat. If that had been the case then only the ruling party representatives will make it through.
rather, they are given a paper with the names of all six candidates. They have to give their preferences for each candidate as 1,2,3,4,5 and 6.....
If 8 or more members choose a candidate as their first choice, he gets elected. So the opposition with 10 seats can get one member elected ( all 10 members will give their first candidate as no.1)...The ruling party on the other hand can get only 2 members elected (10 vote for first candidate and 10 for the next). Thus one candidate of party A and 2 candidates of party B are redundant...
Now coming to what Single Transferable vote means
Only option no.1 will be counted as the vote. But if the requisite number of candidates do not get elected in this process, the candidate with the minimum no.of votes (members putting him as no.1) will be eliminated. The votes of these members will now be transferred to their respective second choices (ones marked as no.2)...
We use the same system for election of the president of india
Usually what happens is that parties wont field candidates for all seats.....Depending on their proportional representation in the assembly, they decide after a meeting and field candidates. That is, party A will field 2 and party B will field 1. All of them will get elected without any problem..
