	Deputy Prime Minister - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
		The Prime Minister is appointed by the Sovereign, who is bound by constitutional convention to choose the individual most likely to command the support of the House of Commons (normally, the leader of the party with a majority in that body).
		The title "Prime Minister", however, is not altogether a matter of convention, as in 1905 it was in a sense given official recognition when the "Prime Minister" was named in the "order of precedence," outranked, among non-royals, only by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York and by the Lord Chancellor.
		Ministers, Privy Counsellors, Ambassadors and High Commissioners, senior civil servants, senior military officers, members of important committees and commissions, and several other officials are selected, and in some cases may be removed, by the Prime Minister.

	Civil Service Systems in Comparative Perspective
		The prime minister uses these tactics during political crises such as before a government censure motion in parliament; when there are too many riots in the coalition; and when the opposition political parties are too united.
		The spirit of democracy is tarnished when the prime minister and leaders of other coalition partners insist that the chairmen of parliamentary committees be held by MPs who belong to the same political party as the minister under scrutiny.
		For example, junior MPs may be given the positions of secretaries to the minister and to the deputy minister, membership on parliamentary committees, and government spokesman and deputy spokemen.

		Despite letters of support from the Science Minister, Lord Sainsbury, and Rhodri Morgan, the First Minister for Wales, not to mention 18 fellows of the Royal Society, Swansea's vice-chancellor, Richard Davies, seems set to press ahead with his planned savings - as he is quite entitled to do.

		While he was the favoured candidate of the Westminster government for this rôle, he was less popular within Wales, and resigned in favour of Rhodri Morgan after opposition parties forced a vote of "no confidence" over the availability of Objective 1 funding from the European Union, an issue upon which he was subsequently vindicated.
		He was the minister most closely connected with a ban on hunting with dogs, for which he attracted much criticism from hunt supporters.

	Prime Minister of the United Kingdom information - Search.com
		The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the head of government and so exercises many of the executive functions nominally vested in the Sovereign, who is head of state.
		Although the Prime Minister is undoubtedly the most powerful figure in British government, his or her compensation is not the highest amongst ministers: that distinction goes to the Lord Chancellor.
		On the retirement of a Prime Minister who is Scottish, it is likely that the primarily Scottish honour of the Order of the Thistle would be used instead of the Order of the Garter, which is generally regarded as an English honour.

		Though the Deputy Leader of the Opposition has taken care to dissociate himself from what might be seen as green movements, agrarian revolutionary movements or the like, the motion he has moved indicates that the farming communities and those in the conservation movement and the green movement have many shared objectives.
		If the Deputy Leader of the Opposition was serious when he said that he was supportive of the trials, he would have to agree that, inevitably, that question must be answered in the affirmative if GM crops are to have any role in agriculture in New South Wales.
		The Minister is confident that the advisory council will consider all the issues relevant to the trial proposals and will provide sound advice based on science, so that he will not pre-empt the decision of the advisory council in any way, shape or form.
