Prime Minister is '' moon among the stars". Explain the statement
Answers
The prime minister: The office and its holders since 1945. By Peter Hennessy. Allen Lane, The Penguin Press; 720 pages; £25
FOR almost 40 years students of British politics have been debating the thesis propounded by the late Richard Crossman, an Oxford don and Labour minister, that cabinet government has been superseded by prime ministerial or quasi-presidential rule. Towards the end of his analysis of post-war premierships, Peter Hennessy quotes a senior Whitehall figure as saying (about the Blair administration): “The idea that the prime minister is primus inter pares is wrong. The prime minister is not pares. He's way above that. Like Caesar he bestrides the word like a colossus.” Except grammatically, the sentiment is not entirely novel, recalling perhaps Sir William Harcourt's remark to Lord Morley that the first minister could be considered “luna inter stellas minores”.
