Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the head of government for the United Kingdom. The Prime Minister is elected upon a vote held in the House of Commons. The Prime Minister chairs the Cabinet Office and selects its Ministers and Secretaries, and advises the Sovereign on the exercise of much of the Royal Prerogative. As modern Prime Ministers hold office by virtue of their ability to command the confidence of the House of Commons, they typically sit as a Member of Parliament and lead the largest party or coalition in the House of Commons. The first Prime Minister, chosen on 20th January 2019 was Enzo Liddell-Grainger of the Conservative Party.

The Prime Minister exercises legislative influence through the House of Commons and Delegated Legislation, such as Statutory Instruments and Orders-In-Council. The Prime Minister is not Head of State and as a result he has no influence over the judiciary, this is as a result of The Constitutional Reform Act 2005, which created a separation between the Executive and the Judiciary.

Each week, the Prime Minister answers questions from the Leader of the Opposition and other Members of Parliament about the government's plans and the legislation to which they plan to propose.
