The student sits at her desk, fiddling with her pencil. It's exam day, and this course on British government has been challenging to say the least. Today's exam focuses on the prime minister and the Cabinet, and the student hopes that she has studied enough. When the professor hands out the exam, the student skims through it quickly, her confidence rising. It doesn't look so bad after all!
The first question is a breeze: 'Define the term prime minister.' The student writes quickly - 'The prime minster is the head of the British government. He or she is an active member of Parliament (MP) in the House of Commons, and the leader of the party that holds the most seats there.'
The next question is easy, too: 'How does someone become prime minister?' Again, the student jots her answer: 'After an election, the monarch calls on the leader of the majority party in the House of Commons to form the new government. The leader, thereby, becomes the prime minister. Although he or she is elected to the House of Commons by a popular vote, he or she is appointed to the office of prime minister by the monarch.'
