UK Prime Ministers

Probably, from his great service to his nation in Wartime : Winston Spencer Churchill. The Duke of Wellington was probably the greatest British General, but that didn't make him a great PM. Both Thatcher & Blair are so disliked in modern times by their detractors to be considered. It has to be said that Churchills' Parliamentary career is not without blemish, but by any standards the Leadership Qualities, Statesmanship & Oratory of his Premiership from 1940 to 1945 is beyond reproach.

Margaret Thatcher (Conservative) was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990, making her the holder of that office in 1982.

Churchill Dog made his first appearance in 1996. He was modeled after a real bull dog named Lucas. Churchill has been used in advertising portraying a dog that talks and nods.

The House of Commons.

According to political experts, the honorable George Osborne is recognized as the Finance Minister in United Kingdom since May 2010.

Alec Douglas-Home was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 1963 October 18 to 1964 October 16.

Mostly because of the lack of a clear majority of the Congress in opposition.

Yes. Harold Wilson was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 1964 October 16 to 1970 June 19 and again from 1974 March 4 March to 1976 April 5.

He is generally regarded to have been ineffectual, both in domestic and foreign affairs, although he DID see succesful British participation in the Gulf War of January 1991.

However, after this his reputation began to suffer. Despite having been an effective Chancellor under the last period of Margaret Thatcher's Premiership, he badly mishandled the economic crisis that hit Britain in Autumn 1992 known as 'Black Wednesday', when Britain had to withdraw from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism due to not being able to maintain interest rates at the levels they were in Germany. Billions of pounds were wiped off UK shares within hours, Major's Chancellor Norman Lamont had to devalue the Pound Sterling, and Britain had to renegociate it's membership of European Monetary Union, for which Major was heckled by Euro-sceptics at the annual Conservtive Party Conference.

In all fairness, it wasn't entirely his fault- there was a GLOBAL recession in the early '90s which no single world leader was responsible for, and over which a number of Premiers lost their nation's elections, including US President George Bush Snr. But nonetheless, Major was not a strong leader, being indecisive, prevaricating and unable to stand up to strong opposition.

One of his worst acts was permitting the execution of the condemned Anglo-American prisoner Nicholas Ingram in 1995- Ingram was a US citizen but had an English mother and held dual nationality. He was sent to the electric chair for the murder of a grocery shop owner in Texas twelve years earlier- Major had the power to intervene and demand that the sentence be commuted to life imprisonment, but despite graphic protests in the press describing the appalling nature of electrical execution (it's neither painless NOR quick) he abandoned Ingram to his fate- it was one of the last executions to be carried out in the US using the electric chair before it was banned nationwide by the Supreme Court as 'cruel and unusual'.

Major was not a University graduate, and as such had done very well to get to be where he was, for which he deserves much credit (especially given the fact that he was taunted about it by the then Labour leader Neil Kinnock, a loutish Welshman, and gave a memorably dignified response). But this can't take away from the fact that his leadership was distinguished only by ineptitude and lack of charismatic Government.

That would be Winston Churchill, who else :)

The parrots name was Toby BTW

i think there are 5

Edit: It depends exactly what you mean by the UK.

It depends if you count the same person more than once. It depends if you count coalition governments. It depends if you mean the "Conservative Party"

or just conservative politically.

Anyway, there were more than 5. I think this is one for Wikipedia.

Yes, he appeared on a commemorative stamp in 1965 to mark his death that year.

I should also add that a complete commemorative set of him was issued in 1974 to mark the Centenary of his birth, which depicted him at various stages in his life from young war correspondent during the Boer War through to Elder Statesman in the 1950s.

There is a Wikipedia page on Edward Heath.

It probably wouldn't happen because his security is extremely tight. If it did everyone would freak out and all of Englands ports and airports would shut down and a huge search would begin with thousands of cops and intelligence guys all over the place. It would be a vast, huge, complex manhunt to find his kidnappers. It would close the country down and probably cost the nation hundreds of millions of pounds.

No. In the United Kingdom, the Prime Minister does not have veto power over any legislation passed by Parliament. Technically, the reigning monarch must assent to any laws enacted, but that assent has not been withheld since 1708 and even in that case the Queen's response was that she would think about it.

Anthony Eden resigned from the office of Prime Minister on January 9, 1957, after doctors warned him his life was in danger if he continued in high-pressure office.

He was succeeded as Prime Minister by Harold Macmillan.

Lord North was forced to resign after his failure to subdue the American colonies during the Revolutionary War. He actually attempted to resign several times during the Revolution, but George III refused to accept his resignation until it was absolutely inevitable. Still, his name will always be remembered in correlation with the minister who lost America.

The Liberal Democrats have never been in office as a main political party, only as the current minor partners in a coalition with the Conservatives since the last General Election in May 2010. However, Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg is Deputy Prime Minister.

However the old Liberal Party, which now no longer exists in it's own right, had a number of Prime Ministers between the mid-19th and early 20th Centuries. The last Liberal PM was Welshman David Lloyd George, who served from December 1916 until October 1922. He died in 1945, soon after the end of WW2.

Sir Winston Churchill, who died on 24th January at the age of 91. His funeral was one of the largest England has ever seen.

The 3rd Viscount of Palmerston, Henry John Temple, was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1855 to 1858.

Rajiv Gandhi was the youngest prime minister, India has elected yet. He was 40 years, two months and 11 days old when he was sworn in as prime minister on October 31, 1984, the day his mother was assassinated. Two months later he won a rousing victory in the general election, winning more Lok Sabha seats than anyone before him or after him has done. His mother (Indira Gandhi) was 48 years, 2 months and seven days old when she succeeded Lal Bahadur Shastri as prime minister (That makes her the 2nd youngest PM). Her father was 57 years, 9 months and 1 day old when India made its tryst with destiny on August 15, 1947 and Nehru was sworn in as the nation's first prime minister. V P Singh was 58 years, 5 months and 7 days when he became prime minister on December 2, 1989.
