No. A Prime Minister has to be re-elected every few years or resign. The powers of prime ministers vary a lot, too.
England doesn't have a President, but a Prime Minister instead (like Canada). In 1996, this was John Major.

England has no President, but a Prime Minister instead (like Canada). In 1996, it was John Major, a Conservative who had formerly served as Chancellor under Margaret Thatcher.
Great Britain does not have a president. The United Kingdom uses a parliamentary form of government, in which the Parliament holds powers much like those of the executive and legislative branches of the US government. As of August 2010, the prime minister of the UK is David Cameron.
Prime ministers are appointed by their party, a President is popularly elected. The Prime minister and president both have to rely on the legislative system to make laws, but the resident has right of veto.They are in different parties so it is a different system of government. For Australia to have a president they have to break away from England and be a Republic.
My 'president' is also a prime minister, and not directly elected.
In the US the president is the head of state and head of government. In England those are two separate roles. England does not have a president. The head of state is the Queen. The head of government is the Prime Minister. In each of their jobs they do similar things to the corresponding elements of job of the president of America.
yup it has a prime minister... but not a president like america
Emperor Akihito
The difference is that a President is elected and a Prime Minister is appointed, either by a Monarch, like in the United Kingdom, or by a President, like in France. The Prime Minister is always a member of the lower house of the legislative assembly, the President never has any legislative roles. In practice, the appointment of a Prime Minister is a formality, because the lower chamber must agree to their choice. Therefore, the leader of the ruling party in the lower chamber always becomes Prime Minister (like the US Speaker of the House).
Japan does not have a President or a Vice President. It does have an Emperor and a Prime Minister. However, the Emperor does not have any power at all. While in England, for example, the Parliament has almost all the power, the Queen does have some decision-making power. In Japan, Emperor Akihito does nothing but sit on the "Chrysanthemum Throne" and greet foreign dignitaries. Naoto Kan is the current prime minister of Japan. It is he who has all the executive power, like the United States President.
Jamaica does not have a President. The Prime Minister of Jamaica is the Hon. Orette Bruce Golding.
