Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

A prime minister is the most senior minister of cabinet in the executive branch of government in a parliamentary system. The position is usually held by, but need not always be held by, a politician. In many systems, the prime minister selects and can dismiss other members of the cabinet, and allocates posts to members within the Government. In most systems, the prime minister is the presiding member and chairman of the cabinet. In a minority of systems, notably in semi-presidential systems of government, a prime minister is the official who is appointed to manage the civil service and execute the directives of the president.

In parliamentary systems fashioned after the Westminster system, the prime minister is the presiding and actual head of the government and head of the executive branch. In such systems, the head of state or the head of state's official representative (i.e the monarch, president, or governor-general), although officially the head of the executive branch, in fact holds a ceremonial position. The prime minister is often, but not always, a member of parliament and is expected with other ministers to ensure the passage of bills through the legislature. In some monarchies the monarch may also exercise executive powers (known as the royal prerogative) which are constitutionally vested in the crown and can be exercised without the approval of parliament.

As well as being head of government, a prime minister may have other roles or titles&_160;– the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, for example, is also First Lord of the Treasury and Minister for the Civil Service.[1] Prime ministers may take other ministerial posts&_160;– for example during the Second World War Winston Churchill was also Minister of Defence (although there was then no Ministry of Defence). The Prime Minister of Australia, Gough Whitlam, was famous for forming his cabinet entirely of himself and his deputy as soon as the overall result of the 1972 federal election was beyond doubt (see First Whitlam Ministry).

The first actual usage of the term prime minister or Premier Ministre was used by Cardinal Richelieu when in 1625 he was named to head the royal council as prime minister of France. Louis XIV and his descendants generally attempted to avoid giving this title to their chief ministers. The term prime minister in the sense that we know it originated in the 18th century in the United Kingdom.[citation needed] Since medieval times monarchs of England and the United Kingdom had ministers in whom they placed special trust and who were regarded as the head of the government. Examples were Thomas Cromwell under Henry VIII; William Cecil, Lord Burghley under Elizabeth I; Clarendon under Charles II and Godolphin under Queen Anne. These ministers held a variety of formal posts, but were commonly known as "the minister," the "first minister" and finally the "prime minister."

8. The 42 Minute Meeting
November 05, 2009

The Prime Minister of Canada and the President of the United States had a meeting the other day. Mr. Harper arrived in Washington the day before the meeting. This makes me wonder why. What did he do thee the night before? Did he see the sights? And where did he stay? Did he get a hotel room or stay at the White House? The White House probably has extensive guest rooms, but it is a little strange to think of the leader of a country going to his 'friend's' house for a sleep over. The meeting itself was scheduled for 42 minutes. Not 40, not 45, just 42. That is a strange number. What did the... (read more)

November 05, 2009

By Ayaz Memon As soon as he had walked into the press box of the Sialkot cricket stadium on October 31, 1984, manager Raj Singh Dungarpur clapped everybody into attention. "Gentlemen," he said, pausing dramatically as was his manner, "I have tragic news. Our Prime Minister Mrs Gandhi has been assassinated." It would not be exaggerating to say that there was a collective gasp in the press box. Every jaw dropped. Shocking as this news was, I remember that a great deal of the discussion right through the tour, within the Indian press corps and Pakistanis who came into our acquaintance, ... (read more)

STALWARTS of the organizing committee like Kalmadi and Chauhan were stung by Fennel’s chilling comments on poor preparedness for the next year’s Commonwealth Games and request to see the Prime Minister. Politicians that they are, one could forgive them for their tongue-in-cheek reaction that all would be hunky dory for the opening. What should make us all sit up and think is the response of a performing CM like Sheila Dixit: “Last-minute readiness is Indian culture. All will be fine by next October”.
