The party-in-government

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The party-in-government refers to all the elected and appointed officials who identify with a political party and are currently in office. These officials are responsible for implementing the policies and positions of their party within the government. Option A is incorrect because the party-in-government does not include all members of the general public who identify with a party, but only elected and appointed officials. Option B is incorrect because the formal structure and leadership of a political party is the party organization, which is distinct from the party-in-government. Option D is incorrect because while the party-in-government may generally support the party's positions, they are not obligated to agree with every policy. Option E is incorrect because while candidate-centered elections may have shifted focus to individual candidates, the party-in-government still exists and plays a significant role in shaping government policy.
