Really he has little power, The English official who corresponds |most nearly to president of the Unit- e¢d States is. the premier or cabinét chief, Again in theory the king appoints the premier, In fact he has little choice. He must name the leader of the strongest political party. It is assumed, correctly, that the strong- est party is the one which elects most members of parliament? An election having been held and the winning leader having been ap- pointed premier, that administration is supposed to remain in power for seven years, when another election is held. However, public opinion often changes In the meantime. The mem- bers of parliament represent the public, so their votes on pending questions change too. Thus, if the premier has not changed his ideas also, he may find, before seven years are up, that sentiment different from his own is stronger than he is in parliament. 3 Then he resigns. The Kking appoints, in his place, the leader of the party with a major- ity of parllament: votes, But when a bhaliot actually fs taken, the new premier sometimes |finds that he has not as many sup- porters as he thought. In such a case it is uncertain who really is strongest and an election is held to find out, even though the regular time for one has not come. | Well, David Tloyd George, who was {premier, has lost his majority in par- |liament, and the king has appointed Andrew Bonar Iaw in his place.
