Resumen del Recurso
The power of the PM
Thatcher
Probably the most dominant politician of the modern period
Strong control over Cabinet and Policy-making
However, her style created enemies - she sacked a number of high profile cabinet members
Hurd, Howe and Heseltine
Freed from Collective Responsibility, they could attack Thatcher
In 1990 she resigned after it was clear that significant numbers in her own party didn't support her
Major
In many ways he was a surprise PM
He had to deal with a deeply divided party
Europe was the key issue - the emergence of the Eurosceptics
John Redwood was a leading opponent
His majority was only 21 after the 1992 election
This was reduced in by-election defeats during the 1990s
The fact that he became PM without winning an election reduced his power before 1992
Tried to be more collegiate but made him look weak
Blair
Won convincing majorities in 1997 and 2001
This gave him parliamentary majorities of over 100
Meant that he was protected from backbench rebellions
Over 100 Labour MPs rebelled against the Iraq War but the measure still passed
Labour had been out of power since 1979
Many MPs were determined to make the most of this and support their leader
Was used to pass important political reforms
Party was ideologically united
Faced little opposition from disunited Conservatives
Accused of being a control freak
Control of what was said in public
Use of spin doctors such as Alastair Campbell
He was very good on the world stage and in front of cameras
Opposition within his own party grew
Retired in 2007
However, many in his own party welcomed this
Brown
Like Major he was unelected
At the start he was popular
People welcomed the change from Blair
But economic crisis started in 2008
This greatly reduced his popularity and power
Defeat in 2010 was almost inevitable
He was more collegiate in approach
But this made him look weak
Cameron
He won the 2015 election with a small majority
Increase in his power
But the right-wing of his party was increasingly powerful
Also the rise of UKIP
Led to Brexit Referendum
He resigned after losing
Said he wasn't the right person to negotiate Brexit
Coalition PM
Not having a majority affected his power
Policy had to be a compromise with the Liberal Democrats
The emergence of the Quad
Cameron and Osborne; Clegg and Alexander
For example, Lib Dems blocked boundary changes to constituencies
Cameron had to keep Lib Dems in the Cabinet
May
Very early to be making judgements
Small working majority of 17
Could be vulnerable to rebellions
Already a U-turn over NI increase for self-employed
Signs of trouble over school budgets and grammar schools
Major issue will be Brexit
Will she be able to achieve anything else of substance?
Has put potential rivals like Boris in the Cabinet
But many Cameron supporters are on the backbenches
Gove? Osborne?
