PM

- By convention, they must be elected

 Party leader:
- PM appointed as a result of being elected as leader,
Eg. Gordon Brown 2007
- Removed when they lost leadership
Eg. Thatcher 1990
- Very unusual; Major resigned as party leader to precipitate a leadership
election, without standing down as PM

 Party must have majority control of the Commons:
- Come to power through winning the general election
Eg. Blair 1997
- Leave office from election defeats
Eg. Major 1997
- Rare ‘hung’ parliament
Eg. 2010, Queen asked Cameron, leader of the largest party to form a govt,
based on a deal with Lib Dems
