	Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In many cases the post of Deputy Prime Minister is given to a senior party figure, who is frequently one of the Prime Minister's past challengers or future rivals for the leadership, as a form of consolation prize, recognition of their achievements or way of keeping them quiet.
		The Deputy can be appointed by the Prime Minister once in office (as with Michael Heseltine), or can be elected Deputy Leader by the party, as in the case of the current incumbent, John Prescott.
		John Prescott, who was elected Deputy Leader of the Labour Party in opposition, was appointed Deputy Prime Minister by Tony Blair in 1997, in addition to being Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions.

	"Can Syria Deregulate Lebanon?" (June 2003)
		The prime minister has been excluded entirely from security-related decisions, a limitation most evident in August 2001, when Lahoud ordered the security forces to carry out a massive crackdown against nationalist dissidents without his approval (Hariri was out of the country at the time).
		The prime minister's allies have recently begun demanding that his constitutional prerogative be recognized in practice, arguing that Lahoud has blocked matters of vital economic concern from being decided by keeping them off the agenda.
		In light of prime minister's formidable financial resources (he is a multi-billionaire), Lahoud's poor standing within the Christian community, and the willingness of most pro-Syrian Maronite politicians to accept the presidency if it were offered to them, Hariri may get his way.
