		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).
		Whenever the office of Prime Minister falls vacant, the Sovereign is responsible for appointing the new incumbent; the appointment is formalised at a ceremony known as Kissing Hands.
		Ministers, Privy Counsellors, Ambassadors and High Commissioners, senior civil servants, senior military officers, senior judges, Archbishops and Bishops of the Church of England, members of important committees and commissions, and several other officials are selected, and in some cases may be removed, by the Prime Minister.

	Editorial: Blair's blues / Britain's prime minister survives Iraq, for now (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		British Prime Minister Tony Blair's experience at last week's Labor Party conference points up the differences and similarities that he and his American counterpart face in terms of political fire.
		Blair is being criticized not only for Britain's being in the war, but also as "Bush's poodle," a position that has placed his country in opposition to its European Union partners, most of which have stayed out of the Iraq snarl.
		The prime minister is also being criticized for having concentrated on the war rather than devoting his attention to Britain's domestic problems, in particular a failing national health-care system, a struggling higher education system and creaky, aging infrastructure that has led to train wrecks and the like.

		Wisely, Britain's political leadership sought to restrain the army for fear of widening the IRA's support base within the Irish island's borders.
