1 Which British prime minister wrote a novel called Vivian Grey?
The British prime minister who wrote a novel called "Vivian Grey" is Benjamin Disraeli. Published in 1826, it was his first novel and reflects his early literary ambitions before he became a prominent political figure. Disraeli served as prime minister twice in the late 19th century and is known for his influential role in British politics and his relationship with Queen Victoria.
Can a british prime minister be removed at any time by his party?
No. A leader of a party can be removed by his party at certain times of the year, in the Conservatives I think it is November and Labour I believe the process starts before the conference in September, depending on the rules of that party. A Prime Minister can face a 'motion of no-confidence' in the House of Commons, and although there is no legal compulsion to leave office, it would create a constitutional crisis if a PM stayed-on after losing such a vote.
Which British prime minister played first class cricket?
Sir Alec Douglas-Home (playing under the name of Lord Dunglass)
What are the requirements and terms to become a king and prime ministry in united kingdom?

You also cannot be Catholic, ever have been Catholic, or be married to anyone Catholic (this dates back to shortly after Henry VIII and the split between the catholic church and the Church of England). To be Prime Minister, you must be the choice of the majority party of Parliment and be approved by the King (or Queen), although this approval is a "rubber stamp."
