Who is responsible for electing the Prime Minister of England
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/12
There has never been a Prime Minister of England.
England is a part of, but not the same as, The United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the person who is
invited to form a government by The Queen, normally the leader of
the party with the most seats in Parliament following a General
Election.
Because there are more than two main parties in the British
Parliament this is not always easy - for example following the
General Election in 2010 neither The Conservative Party nor the
Labour Party had an overall majority of seats and the decision to
appoint David Cameron as Prime Minister came after he had reached
an agreement to form a coalition government with The Liberal
Democrat Party.
