(tco 5) how often does the cabinet change in a parliamentary system?

Cabinet Change in a Parliamentary system changes after every four years. It is also known as Cabinet Shuffle or Cabinet Reshuffle.  

Further Explanation:

Cabinet Reshuffle can take place when head of the government changes or rotates the composition or ministry of his cabinet ministers in his government. These shuffles take place in the government for various numbers of reasons. Sometimes these reshuffles also take place when a minister has resigned or has died. These are also a way to refresh government. Cabinet reshuffles also take place when the poling is done and new cabinet comes into power. The head of the ministry also has powers to remove any cabinet leader if that leader is under-performing or the voters are not happy with work of that leader. The prime minister has also right to reshuffle the cabinet within the cabinet. For Example if a person is from Finance Ministry and other person is from Defence ministry, the Prime Minister has right to switch their ministries with each other. Cabinet reshuffles are not so common in the systems where members of Cabinet are not selected from Legislative branch. In these systems, the Leader of the government has much larger to select its candidates of Cabinet from. In Legislative branch, the members of the cabinet are chosen from their qualification of their portfolio. Usually cabinet reshuffle takes place after four years.
