I didn't want to say that. Mainly because I wasn't sure, I am no expert on UK politics. I assumed the PM was pretty useless like the US President. I assume most things there are run by Parliament? Like here most things depends on Congress and the Senate. That is just what I gather based on my limited knowledge of UK government.
The Prime Minister does have abit of power as head of government.
Unlike the US strict separation of powers, the Legislative (House of Commons) and Executive (Prime Minister) the separations are not as defined in the UK and Commonwealth system. However there is checks and balances that prevents one branch gaining an advantage over the other.
IIN for an American to want to live in the UK rather than the US?
