Executing A Cabinet Reshuffle: In July 1962, Macmillan responded to his party's poor performance in by-elections and the polls by executing a cabinet reshuffle, including dismissal of the chancellor of the exchequer, Sel-wyn Lloyd. But criticism did not abate. Macmil¬lan resigned, on health grounds, in October 1963, but the maneuverings and hostilities revealed be¬fore Sir Alec Douglas-Home was chosen as his successor further repelled the public and shook their confidence.
Some observers regard the modern cabinet as united not so much by the equal status of its members as by the near-presidential power of the prime minister. Others argue that, while the cabinet structure is more complex and hierarchi¬cal than before, the cabinet is still a genuinely collective final authority within the executive. However regarded, the cabinet in generally con¬ceded to be the source of political action in Par¬liament. In short, it has maintained the tradi¬tional monarchical role of determining policy. Parliament may control the government, but it cannot be said to govern.See Also Meline Cabinet:From 1896 1898 he was minister of public instruction the Meline cabinet.

The Cabinet. The historical decline of the lonarch as the center of executive power was ac-ompanied by the rise of ministers to a position F ultimate executive authority. The most impor-tnt group of ministers, the cabinet, has been 'ansformed from its 18th century origins as a roup of advisers to the monarch into the focal oint of the modern executive. The cabinet has iherited not only the ultimate authority of the lonarch but also the sense of unified will that•as characteristic of royal government. Its sense F unity is reinforced by a convention of col-ctive responsibility that requires all ministers ublicly to support their colleagues and to resign they find themselves unable to do so.
