NEED HELP WITH EXPRESSION FROM A POLITICAL BOOK
|
|
Hello everybody! Can you help me and explain the following underlined expression if you don �t mind? The incentive not to jeopardize the survival of the
government pressures members of parliament whose parties hold executive office
not to buck cabinet directives. Thanks in advance, ascincoquinas |
