Reference fr Teaching
Prime Minister f the United Kingdm
In the United Kingdm, the Prime Minister is the head f gvernment, exercising many f the executive functins nminally vested in the Svereign(君主), wh is head f state.Accrding t custm, the Prime Minister and the Cabinet (which he r she heads) are respnsible fr their actins t Parliament, f which they are members by (mdern) cnventin（惯例）.The current Prime Minister is Tny Blair (f the Labur Party), wh has been in ffice since 1997.
Prime Minister is the mnarch’s(君主的) principal advisr.Histrically, the mnarch’s chief minister (if, as was nt always the case, any ne persn culd be singled ut as such) might have held any f a number f ffices: Lrd Chancellr, Archbishp f Canterbury, Lrd High Steward, Chancellr f the Exchequer（财务大臣）, Lrd Privy Seal, r secretary f State amng thers.With the emergence, in the eighteenth century, f gvernment by a cabinet f these ministers, its head came in time t be called the“Prime Minister”(smetimes als “Premier” r “First Minister”); t this day the Prime Minister always als hlds ne f the mre specific ministerial psitins, if nly in a nminal sense—the fficial title f the Prime Minister’s ministerial psitin is First Lrd f the Treasury.Sir Rbert Walple is generally regarded as the first Prime Minister in the mdern sense.
The Prime Minister is appinted by the Svereign, wh is bund by cnstitutinal cnventin t chse the individual mst likely t cmmand the supprt f the Huse f Cmmns (nrmally, the leader f the party with a majrity in that bdy).Shuld the Prime Minister lse the cnfidence f the Huse f Cmmns (indicated, fr example, by the passage f a n cnfidence mtin), he r she is mrally bliged by similar cnventins either t resign (in which case the Svereign can try t find anther Prime Minister wh has the Huse’s cnfidence) r t request the mnarch t call a general electin.Since the premiership is in sme small sense still a de fact psitin, the ffice’s pwers are mainly a matter f custm rather than law, deriving frm the incumbent’s ability t appint (thrugh the Svereign) his r her Cabinet clleagues, as well as frm certain uses f the ryal prergative which may be exercised directly by the Prime Minister, r by the Mnarch n the Prime Minister’s advice.Sme cmmentatrs have pinted ut that, in practice, the pwers f the ffice are subject t very few checks, especially in an era when Parliament and the Cabinet are seen as unwilling t challenge dminant Prime Ministers whse attentin is increasingly turned nt tward Parliament but tward the news media.
The UK under the leadership f the Current Prime Minister Tny Blair
Eighteen years f Cnservative rule ended in May 1997 when Tny Blair and the Labr Party succeeded in the British electins.Blair has been cmpared t frmer Bill Clintn fr his yuthful, telegenic(适于电视广播的) persnality and centrist views.He prduced cnstitutinal refrm that partially decentralized（分散）the UK, leading t the frmatin f separate Parliaments in Wales and Sctland by 1999.Britain turned ver its clny Hng Kng t China in July 1997.
Blair’s cntrversial meeting in Oct.1997 with Sinn Fein’s president, Gerry Adams, was the first meeting in 76 years between a British prime minister and a Sinn Fein leader.It infuriated numerus factins but was a symblic gesture in supprt f the nascent peace talks in Nrthern Ireland.In 1998 the Gd Friday Agreement, strngly supprted by Tny Blair, led t the first prmise f peace between Cathlics and Prtestants since the beginning f the s-called Trubles.
Alng with the U.S., Britain launched air strikes against Iraq in Dec.1998 after Saddam Hussein expelled UN arms inspectrs.In the spring f 1999, Britain spearheaded the NATO peratin in Ksv, which resulted in Yugslavian president Slbdan Milsevic’s withdrawal frm the territry.
In Feb.2001, ft-and-muth disease brke ut amng British livestck, prmpting ther natins t ban British meat imprts and frcing the slaughter f thusands f cattle, pigs, and sheep in an effrt t stem the highly cntagius disease.The episde cst farmers and the turist industry billins f dllars.
In June 2001, Blair wn a secnd landslide victry, with the Labur Party capturing 413 seats in Parliament.
Britain became the staunchest ally f the the Sept.11 attacks.British trps jined the the bmbing campaign against Afghanistan in Oct.2001, after the Taliban-led gvernment refused t turn ver the prime suspect in the terrrist attacks, Osama bin Laden.
Blair again prved himself t be the strngest internatinal supprter f the Sept.2002, when he became President Bush’s majr ally in calling fr a war against Iraq.Blair maintained that military actin was justified because Iraq was develping weapns f mass destructin that were a direct threat t its enemies.He cntinued t supprt the Bush administratin’s hawkish plicies despite significant ppsitin in his wn party and the British public.In March 2003, a Lndn Times newspaper pll indicated that nly 19% f respndents apprved f military actin withut a UN mandate.As the inevitability f the n Iraq grew nearer, Blair annunced that he wuld jin the fighting Iraq with r withut a secnd UN reslutin.Three f his ministers resigned as a result.Britain entered the war n March 20, supplying 45 000 trps.
In the aftermath f the war, Blair came under fire frm gvernment fficials fr allegedly exaggerating Iraq’s pssessin f weapns f mass destructin.In July 2003 Blair annunced that “histry wuld frgive” the UK and U.S.“if we are wrng” and that the end t the “inhuman carnage and suffering” caused by Saddam Hussein was justificatin enugh fr the war.The arguments abut the war grew s vciferus between the Blair gvernment and the BBC that a prminent weapns scientist, David Kelly, wh was caught in the middle, cmmitted suicide.In Jan.2004, the Huttn Reprt exnerated the Blair administratin f any miscnduct cncerning the weapns inspectins and cncluded that it had nt“sexed-up”the intelligence dssier, an accusatin put frth by BBC reprter Andrew Gilligan.The reprt strngly criticized the BBC fr its “defective” editrial plicies, and as a cnsequence, the BBC’s tp management resigned.
In July 2004, the Butler Reprt n pre-Iraq war British intelligence was released.It eched the findings f the Intelligence Cmmittee f the week befre that the intelligence had vastly exaggerated Saddam Hussein’s threat.The famus claim that Iraq’s chemical and bilgical weapns “are deplyable within 45 minutes f an rder t use them”was especially singled ut as highly misleading.But like the , it cleared the gvernment f any rle in manipulating the intelligence.
On May 5, 2005, Blair wn a histric third term as the cuntry’s prime minister.Despite this victry, Blair’s party was severely hurt in the electins.The Labur Party wn just 36% f the natinal vte, the lwest percentage by a ruling party in British histry.The Cnservative Party wn 33%, and the Liberal Demcrats 22%.Blair acknwledged that the reasn fr the pr shwing was Britain’s invlvement in the war in Iraq, which was widely unppular.A number f plitical analysts believe Blair will nt serve ut his new five-year term.Many expect him t resign in the next several years and turn ver the reins f the Labur Party t Grdn Brwn, the chancellr f the exchequer, whse plicies many credit in creating Britain’s strng and stable ecnmy.
On July 7, 2005, Lndn suffered a terrrist bmbing, Britain’s wrst attack since Wrld War Ⅱ.Fur bmbs explded in three subway statins and n ne duble-decker bus during the mrning rush hur, killing 52 and wunding mre than 700.Fur Muslim men, three f them British-brn, were identified as the suicide bmbers.On July 21, terrrists attempted anther attack n the transit system, but the bmbs failed t explde.A leaked dcument by a tp British gvernment fficial warned Prime Minister Blair mre than a year befre the bmbings that Britain’s engagement in Iraq was fueling Islamic extremism, but Blair has repeatedly denied such a link, cntending that the bmbings were the result f an “evil idelgy” that had taken rt befre the Iraq war.Blair has prpsed legislatin that wuld tughen the cuntry’s antiterrrism measures.

Reference fr Teaching
Prime Minister f the United Kingdm
In the United Kingdm, the Prime Minister is the head f gvernment, exercising many f the executive functins nminally vested in the Svereign(君主), wh is head f state.Accrding t custm, the Prime Minister and the Cabinet (which he r she heads) are respnsible fr their actins t Parliament, f which they are members by (mdern) cnventin（惯例）.The current Prime Minister is Tny Blair (f the Labur Party), wh has been in ffice since 1997.
Prime Minister is the mnarch’s(君主的) principal advisr.Histrically, the mnarch’s chief minister (if, as was nt always the case, any ne persn culd be singled ut as such) might have held any f a number f ffices: Lrd Chancellr, Archbishp f Canterbury, Lrd High Steward, Chancellr f the Exchequer（财务大臣）, Lrd Privy Seal, r secretary f State amng thers.With the emergence, in the eighteenth century, f gvernment by a cabinet f these ministers, its head came in time t be called the“Prime Minister”(smetimes als “Premier” r “First Minister”); t this day the Prime Minister always als hlds ne f the mre specific ministerial psitins, if nly in a nminal sense—the fficial title f the Prime Minister’s ministerial psitin is First Lrd f the Treasury.Sir Rbert Walple is generally regarded as the first Prime Minister in the mdern sense.
The Prime Minister is appinted by the Svereign, wh is bund by cnstitutinal cnventin t chse the individual mst likely t cmmand the supprt f the Huse f Cmmns (nrmally, the leader f the party with a majrity in that bdy).Shuld the Prime Minister lse the cnfidence f the Huse f Cmmns (indicated, fr example, by the passage f a n cnfidence mtin), he r she is mrally bliged by similar cnventins either t resign (in which case the Svereign can try t find anther Prime Minister wh has the Huse’s cnfidence) r t request the mnarch t call a general electin.Since the premiership is in sme small sense still a de fact psitin, the ffice’s pwers are mainly a matter f custm rather than law, deriving frm the incumbent’s ability t appint (thrugh the Svereign) his r her Cabinet clleagues, as well as frm certain uses f the ryal prergative which may be exercised directly by the Prime Minister, r by the Mnarch n the Prime Minister’s advice.Sme cmmentatrs have pinted ut that, in practice, the pwers f the ffice are subject t very few checks, especially in an era when Parliament and the Cabinet are seen as unwilling t challenge dminant Prime Ministers whse attentin is increasingly turned nt tward Parliament but tward the news media.
The UK under the leadership f the Current Prime Minister Tny Blair
Eighteen years f Cnservative rule ended in May 1997 when Tny Blair and the Labr Party succeeded in the British electins.Blair has been cmpared t frmer Bill Clintn fr his yuthful, telegenic(适于电视广播的) persnality and centrist views.He prduced cnstitutinal refrm that partially decentralized（分散）the UK, leading t the frmatin f separate Parliaments in Wales and Sctland by 1999.Britain turned ver its clny Hng Kng t China in July 1997.
Blair’s cntrversial meeting in Oct.1997 with Sinn Fein’s president, Gerry Adams, was the first meeting in 76 years between a British prime minister and a Sinn Fein leader.It infuriated numerus factins but was a symblic gesture in supprt f the nascent peace talks in Nrthern Ireland.In 1998 the Gd Friday Agreement, strngly supprted by Tny Blair, led t the first prmise f peace between Cathlics and Prtestants since the beginning f the s-called Trubles.
Alng with the U.S., Britain launched air strikes against Iraq in Dec.1998 after Saddam Hussein expelled UN arms inspectrs.In the spring f 1999, Britain spearheaded the NATO peratin in Ksv, which resulted in Yugslavian president Slbdan Milsevic’s withdrawal frm the territry.
In Feb.2001, ft-and-muth disease brke ut amng British livestck, prmpting ther natins t ban British meat imprts and frcing the slaughter f thusands f cattle, pigs, and sheep in an effrt t stem the highly cntagius disease.The episde cst farmers and the turist industry billins f dllars.
In June 2001, Blair wn a secnd landslide victry, with the Labur Party capturing 413 seats in Parliament.
Britain became the staunchest ally f the the Sept.11 attacks.British trps jined the the bmbing campaign against Afghanistan in Oct.2001, after the Taliban-led gvernment refused t turn ver the prime suspect in the terrrist attacks, Osama bin Laden.
Blair again prved himself t be the strngest internatinal supprter f the Sept.2002, when he became President Bush’s majr ally in calling fr a war against Iraq.Blair maintained that military actin was justified because Iraq was develping weapns f mass destructin that were a direct threat t its enemies.He cntinued t supprt the Bush administratin’s hawkish plicies despite significant ppsitin in his wn party and the British public.In March 2003, a Lndn Times newspaper pll indicated that nly 19% f respndents apprved f military actin withut a UN mandate.As the inevitability f the n Iraq grew nearer, Blair annunced that he wuld jin the fighting Iraq with r withut a secnd UN reslutin.Three f his ministers resigned as a result.Britain entered the war n March 20, supplying 45 000 trps.
In the aftermath f the war, Blair came under fire frm gvernment fficials fr allegedly exaggerating Iraq’s pssessin f weapns f mass destructin.In July 2003 Blair annunced that “histry wuld frgive” the UK and U.S.“if we are wrng” and that the end t the “inhuman carnage and suffering” caused by Saddam Hussein was justificatin enugh fr the war.The arguments abut the war grew s vciferus between the Blair gvernment and the BBC that a prminent weapns scientist, David Kelly, wh was caught in the middle, cmmitted suicide.In Jan.2004, the Huttn Reprt exnerated the Blair administratin f any miscnduct cncerning the weapns inspectins and cncluded that it had nt“sexed-up”the intelligence dssier, an accusatin put frth by BBC reprter Andrew Gilligan.The reprt strngly criticized the BBC fr its “defective” editrial plicies, and as a cnsequence, the BBC’s tp management resigned.
In July 2004, the Butler Reprt n pre-Iraq war British intelligence was released.It eched the findings f the Intelligence Cmmittee f the week befre that the intelligence had vastly exaggerated Saddam Hussein’s threat.The famus claim that Iraq’s chemical and bilgical weapns “are deplyable within 45 minutes f an rder t use them”was especially singled ut as highly misleading.But like the , it cleared the gvernment f any rle in manipulating the intelligence.
On May 5, 2005, Blair wn a histric third term as the cuntry’s prime minister.Despite this victry, Blair’s party was severely hurt in the electins.The Labur Party wn just 36% f the natinal vte, the lwest percentage by a ruling party in British histry.The Cnservative Party wn 33%, and the Liberal Demcrats 22%.Blair acknwledged that the reasn fr the pr shwing was Britain’s invlvement in the war in Iraq, which was widely unppular.A number f plitical analysts believe Blair will nt serve ut his new five-year term.Many expect him t resign in the next several years and turn ver the reins f the Labur Party t Grdn Brwn, the chancellr f the exchequer, whse plicies many credit in creating Britain’s strng and stable ecnmy.
On July 7, 2005, Lndn suffered a terrrist bmbing, Britain’s wrst attack since Wrld War Ⅱ.Fur bmbs explded in three subway statins and n ne duble-decker bus during the mrning rush hur, killing 52 and wunding mre than 700.Fur Muslim men, three f them British-brn, were identified as the suicide bmbers.On July 21, terrrists attempted anther attack n the transit system, but the bmbs failed t explde.A leaked dcument by a tp British gvernment fficial warned Prime Minister Blair mre than a year befre the bmbings that Britain’s engagement in Iraq was fueling Islamic extremism, but Blair has repeatedly denied such a link, cntending that the bmbings were the result f an “evil idelgy” that had taken rt befre the Iraq war.Blair has prpsed legislatin that wuld tughen the cuntry’s antiterrrism measures.
