	Prime Minister of the United Kingdom information - Search.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		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.

		Granatstein and Hillmer then expanded that article into this 200-plus-page book, with individual chapters for each prime minister except the four immediate successors to John A. Macdonald, whose combined service from 1891-1896 is disposed of in one chapter.
		An actual list of 25 names was appended to the Maclean's article, indicating the presence of five female scholars amongst such luminaries as Michael Bliss, Craig Brown, Desmond Morton, Blair Neatby and Peter Waite.
		The author presents one-page thumbnail sketches of Canada's 20 prime ministers, 25 governors-general since 1867 (excluding Adrienne Clarkson, who had not yet been appointed), and 36 "Fathers" of Confederation, defined as those colonial politicians from British North America who attended at least one of the formative conferences in Charlottetown, Quebec or London.

		The selected politicians are listed in no particular order and their inclusion does not imply that I agree with any or all of their policies, only that I believe they had a significant influence on British politics whilst they were in power.
		Widely credited as Britain’s greatest ever Prime Minister and almost certainly the most famous person to have held the post, Churchill is also one of the few people outside of the Royal Family to be honoured on his death with a state funeral.
		His list is fairly close to mine, although he puts the emphasis on the successful implementation of policies and therefore Blair falls down the list somewhat with only three points out of a possible five.

		S/he acts as the head of Her Majesty's Government and like other Prime Ministers in Westminster Systems is (along with their Cabinet) the de facto source of executive power in the British Government.
		The current Prime Minister is Tony Blair (of the Labour Party), who has been in office since 2 May 1997.
		This reflected the Lord Chancellor's position at the top of the judicial pay scale, as British judges are on the whole better paid than British politicians and until 2005 the Lord Chancellor was both politician and the head of the judiciary.

	Gough Whitlam
		Australia's Prime Minister elected 1972, in an election that marked the beginning of a new era in Australian history and awakened "a rare feeling of national self-respect." Labor's three stated aims were to promote equality, to involve the people in decision-making processes and to liberate the talents and uplift the horizons of the Australian people.
		Whitlam's term as prime minister ended in 1975 when he was dismissed by the Governor-General-his dismissal is one of the most controversial issues in Australia's history.
		Within two weeks conscription was abolished, draft resisters were released from jail and troops withdrawn from Vietnam, the British New Year's Honour list was abolished, tariffs on imported goods drastically reduced and the Australian dollar revalued.

	Britain Must Reject Appeasement of Islamic Terrorists
		British foreign policy should be shaped by national interest and by British values, not by pressure groups threatening dire consequences if their demands are not met.
		The British government should support a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the relationship between Britain’s leading Muslim groups and radical Islamic organizations and individuals, as well as the sources of funding for these bodies.
		British ministers, as well as leaders of the opposition Conservative Party, should condemn the statements of Muslim leaders linking the actions of homegrown terrorists to the British- and American-led war on terrorism.

	British Prime Ministers: Thatcher, Margaret (1925-)
		She was joint parliamentary secretary to the Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance (1961-64) and secretary of state for education and science (only the second woman ever to become a Conservative cabinet minister) under Prime Minister Edward Heath (1970-74).
		The Conservatives' decisive victory in the general elections of 1979, which elevated her to the prime ministry, was thought partly to have resulted from her denunciation of trade-union-induced chaos in the previous winter's strikes.
		Throughout her terms Thatcher pursued the policies that earned her the appellation of "Iron Lady": strict dominance over the ministers of her cabinet; pursuance of a strong monetarist policy; increased subjection of trade unions to legal constraints; and "privatization" of state-owned enterprises.

		The list was based on how well the leaders implemented their policies - not on the policies themselves.
		Of the 20 prime ministers in the list, Neville Chamberlain and Sir Anthony Eden both scored zero - in Chamberlain's case because he "utterly failed in his principal objective of averting war".

		One government source suggested Blair was facing 'a struggle without reward' and added: 'The Prime Minister, along with other cabinet ministers, is pushing for the UN.
		But progress has been minimal.' Although Britain and the US are said to be in the early stages of preparing a resolution that would give the UN a humanitarian role in Iraq, the source close to Straw was not optimistic.
