Comparable talent, it just means that in the process of selection, some people must be eliminated, even some of the best people. Only one horse won in the big race.
As one might expect, British prime ministers have been motley, not overtly brilliant or imaginative, and occasionally some of them have shown a bit of genius. Just think of old Pete,
Lloyd George
and
Churchill
I know. But the fact that they are, on the whole, ordinary people is nothing surprising. Buchthout said, "A politician is one who combines the strength of the first with the credo of the second." In other words, by the nature of their profession, their views are destined to be brought down to the level of the average person. It is the job of the prime minister to manage a group of ambitious and temperamental people - some of whom will consider themselves not his mortal enemies but also his opponents (e.g
Richard Attlee
governmental
Herbert Morrison
). Stick together in tough times and make sure every member of this band contributes to the big ensemble. The strongest of them said, "As long as we all say the same thing, it doesn't matter what we say." Above all, the prime minister must avoid the temptation to act as a one-man show. It's a job that requires a lot of diplomacy and even a little trickery.
In a democracy where the government values being in conflict with the opposition, the prime minister should give the impression; He was a leader in a brutal struggle. So, whatever his personal views, he must appear scrappy. Balfour lost his Conservative party because of this lack of success
Leading position
. He must avoid being agreeable to all, and at the same time must remember that his government, like any other, is made up of all kinds of people with different opinions, from
ultra-left
to
ultra-right

Treaty of Berlin
The Prime Minister's name was first used in official documents. In the early years, the Prime Minister was mostly a peer, and later the Prime Minister was mostly a member of the House of Commons. Since 1902 the Prime Minister can only be the leader of the majority Party in the House of Commons and is appointed by the Crown
Constitutional convention
.
In 1905, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman was appointed Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. In the royal decree appointing him, the term Prime Minister appeared for the first time as an official United Kingdom
Official title
. It was not until 1937 that the King's Ministers Act was enacted that the term Prime minister became legally recognized.
By convention, after the general election, the King summons the majority leader, appoints him as Prime Minister and authorizes the formation of a government. The Prime Minister proposed a list of cabinet members from his own party and asked the King to appoint them. Ministers are divided into cabinet ministers and non-cabinet ministers. The number of ministers in the Cabinet is determined by the Prime Minister, and the composition of the cabinet changes frequently. In addition to the Prime Minister, there are usually ministers of foreign affairs, defense, finance, home affairs and other important departments; Lord Chancellor who is not responsible for the head of a specific department; President of the Privy Council;
Lord privy seal
In charge of district affairs
Scotland
Minister of State,
Welsh
Minister of State,
Northern Ireland
Minister of State. Before a cabinet meeting, the prime minister sometimes convenes a small number of close ministers to discuss important policies
Inner cabinet
.
The functions of the Cabinet include: making final decisions on policies submitted to parliament; In accordance with the policy set by Parliament
Administrative power
; To coordinate and define the functions and responsibilities of government ministries. In addition, the state is in
State of emergency
It has the authority to take urgent action. The Cabinet consists of various standing committees and temporary committees. With the exception of individual committees, their composition and terms of reference are confidential and shall not be disclosed during the term of office. The office has a general office, which is in charge of arranging the agenda and communicating with the cabinet and other important internal departments of the government
Administrative affairs
. Cabinet meetings are convened by the Prime Minister at any time, and usually meet once or twice a week during the parliamentary session. The contents of the meetings are kept secret, the discussions are not recorded, there is never a vote, and the final decision is made by the Prime Minister according to his own views. Cabinet members are jointly and severally responsible for government policies and actions. Whether or not there are differences of opinion among the Cabinet members, there must be unanimity externally.
Although most of the powers of the prime minister are not formally defined by law, by convention the prime Minister has a very wide range of powers and holds the REINS of state.
British political system
The prime minister's position is created by constitutional convention, and his power is determined by constitutional convention.
According to constitutional convention, the Prime Minister enjoys the following powers:
3. Report to the King on behalf of the Government.
4. Defending major government policies on behalf of the government in Parliament.
5. To present to the Crown a list of appointments to the Cabinet and other ministers, and to ask them to resign or change their posts.
6. Preside over Cabinet meetings and decide the agenda of the Cabinet.
Seven. To recommend to the King the appointment of high judges, bishops and certain other officials.
8. To decide on the division of functions and powers of ministries, and to decide on the establishment, merger and abolition of ministries.
9. Provide general guidance to the operations of each department and resolve disputes between departments.
However, the Prime Minister, as leader of the majority party, controls Parliament and has the power to advise the King to dissolve Parliament and call a new election. In 1742, Walpole's cabinet resigned en masse after losing parliamentary support, setting the precedent that the forming party must have a parliamentary majority and be held collectively accountable. In 1784, Pitt's cabinet was not supported by the House of Commons, and asked the king to dissolve the House of Commons, and called an early election, and continued to form a government after winning, which became the practice. In fact, the British prime minister has more power than
