Description: "This comprehensive account of a crucial but rather neglected aspect of British government examines the role and significance of the Prime Minister and Cabinet today. Post-war premiers and their Cabinets up to and including 1997 provide the focus. The Prime Minister's role and functions and how the office is won and lost are also featured. Relations with Parliament, the party, the voters and the media, and the sources of advice available to the Prime Minister are examined. The book concludes with an account of the working of the Cabinet. Accessible and jargon-free, the volume will be of interest to students, academics and researchers."--Jacket.
