Shift towards a PM ministerial government

Cards (1)

  • Prime ministerial government
    • The prime minister controls the agenda of cabinet meetings
    • Prime ministers use the media, not just Parliament and the cabinet, to get messages across to the public
    • The cabinet is packed with the prime minister's supporters
    • The prime minister makes greater use of their royal prerogative powers, particularly with regard to foreign relations-foreign policy is conducted by the prime minister and not by the cabinet
