Cabinet

Au Royaume-Uni, le Cabinet est un comité composé d'une vingtaine de ministres et du Premier ministre qui se réunit toutes les semaines au 10 Downing St pour décider de la politique du gouvernement. Certains membres y appartiennent de droit (Home Secretary, Chancellor of the Exchequer, etc.) et d'autres sont choisis par le Premier ministre. Les membres du Cabinet ont un devoir de réserve et sont collectivement responsables des décisions prises. Une fois qu'une mesure a été prise, un ministre qui ne l'approuve pas doit cependant s'y rallier ou démissionner. → Downing Street
