Pros And Cons Of David Cameron As A Prime Minister

280 Words2 Pages
Presidentialism- the theory that prime ministers in England are becoming more like Presidents in America, with their full campaigns focused on them and with sole responsibility over the country- has been on the rise as a style of government for a long time, reaching a peak with Margaret Thatcher in the 80’s and carried on in part by several PM’s since. However it is suggested that since May 2010, there has been less opportunity for David Cameron to act as a presidential prime minister.
One of the factors that allows a Prime Minister to act presidentially is a large majority in parliament- David Cameron did not have this when he came to power, which led to the current coalition government between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.
