prime minister's role has evolved, based often on the individual's personal appeal and strength of character, as contrasted between, for example, Winston Churchill as against Clement Attlee, Margaret Thatcher as against John Major. It is alleged that the increased personalisation of leadership in a number of states has led to heads of government becoming themselves "semi-presidential" figures, due in part to media coverage of politics that focuses on the leader and his or her mandate, rather than on parliament; and to the increasing centralisation of power in the hands of the head of government. Such allegations have been made against three former British Prime ministers: Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, and Boris Johnson. They were also made against Italian prime ministers Silvio Berlusconi and Matteo Renzi, Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau and Federal Chancellor of West Germany (later all of Germany), Helmut Kohl, when in power. Official residence The head of government is often provided with an official residence, often in the same fashion as heads of state often are. The name of the residence is often used as a metonym or alternative title for 'the government' when the office is politically the highest, e.g. in the UK "Downing Street announced today…" Well-known official residences of heads of government include: 10 Downing Street in London — Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (who also has a country residence, Chequers) The Lodge in Canberra — Prime Minister of Australia (with an additional residence, Kirribilli House, in Sydney) 24 Sussex Drive in Ottawa — Prime Minister of Canada (who also has a country residence, Harrington Lake) Premier House in Wellington — Prime Minister of New Zealand 7, Lok Kalyan Marg in New Delhi — Prime Minister of India Catshuis in The Hague — Prime Minister of the Netherlands Ballhausplatz in Vienna — Chancellor of Austria Zhongnanhai in Beijing — Premier of the People's Republic of China Kantei in Tokyo — Prime Minister of Japan Kramář's Villa in Prague — Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Chigi Palace in Rome — Prime Minister of Italy Hôtel Matignon in Paris— Prime Minister of France Villa Parkowa in Warsaw— Prime Minister of Poland Federal Chancellery in Berlin — Chancellor of Germany The Lambermont in Brussels — Prime Minister of Belgium Palacio de la Moncloa in Madrid — President of the Government of Spain Palacete de São Bento in Lisbon — Prime Minister of Portugal Kesäranta in
