What is a responsible government?

responsible government is answerable to parliament as it has members who are always directly elected. Moreover, it is the principle of any democratic government. A responsible government cannot carry out functions as per its whims and fancies as it is directly responsible to the Parliament. Eg: India, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia etc.

By definition, “Responsible government is a conception of a system of government that embodies the principle of parliamentary accountability, the foundation of the Westminster system( Parliamentary system developed by UK) of parliamentary democracy”.
