What is the political power of The Prime Minister and the Cabine

What is the political power of The Prime Minister and the Cabinet?
【正确答案】：1.All political power rests with the prime minister and the cabinet, and the monarch must act on their advice.
2.The prime minister chooses the cabinet from MPs in his political party. Most cabinet ministers are heads of government departments. The prime minister’s authority grew during the 20th century, and, alone or with one or two colleagues, the prime minister increasingly has made decisions previously made by the cabinet as a whole. Prime ministers have nevertheless been overruled by the cabinet on many occasionsand must generally have its support to exercise their powers. Because the party with a majority in the House of Commons supports the cabinet, it exercises the sovereignty of Parliament. The royal right of veto has not been exercised since the early 18th century, and the legislative power of the House of Lords wasreduced in 1911 to the right to delay legislation. The cabinet plans and lays before Parliament all important bills.
3.Although the cabinet thus controls the lawmaking machinery, it is also subject to Parliament; it must expound and defend its policy in debate, and its continuation in office depends on the support of the House of Commons. The executive apparatus, the cabinet secretariat, was developed after World War I and carries out the cabinet’s decisions. It also prepares the cabinet’s agenda, records its conclusions, and communicates them to the government departments that implement them.
