Hvem var storbritanniens første præsident?
Robert Walpole
List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom
Det Forenede Kongeriges premierminister er leder af Det Forenede Kongeriges regering og er formand for kabinetsmøderne. Der findes ingen specifik dato for, hvornår premierministerembedet opstod, da rollen ikke blev skabt, men snarere udviklede sig over en periode gennem en sammenlægning af opgaver. Udtrykket blev brugt i Underhuset allerede i 1805, og det var helt sikkert i parlamentarisk brug i 1880'erne. I 1905 blev posten som premierminister officielt anerkendt i rangfølgen. Moderne historikere betragter generelt Sir Robert Walpole, der ledede Storbritanniens regering i over tyve år fra 1721, som den første premierminister. Walpole er også den britiske premierminister med den længste tjenestetid i henhold til denne definition. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman var imidlertid den første og Margaret Thatcher den længst siddende premierminister, der officielt er blevet omtalt som sådan. Den første, der officielt brugte titlen premierminister, var Benjamin Disraeli, som underskrev Berlin-traktaten under anvendelse af denne betegnelse i 1878.
Robert Walpole
List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the head of the Government of the United Kingdom, and chairs Cabinet meetings. There is no specific date for when the office of Prime Minister first appeared, as the role was not created but rather evolved over a period of time through a merger of duties. The term had been used in the House of Commons as early as 1805, and it was certainly in parliamentary use by the 1880s. In 1905 the post of Prime Minister was officially given recognition in the order of precedence. Modern historians generally consider Sir Robert Walpole, who led the government of Great Britain for over twenty years from 1721, as the first Prime Minister. Walpole is also the longest-serving British prime minister by this definition. However, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman was the first and Margaret Thatcher the longest-serving Prime Minister to have been officially referred to as such. The first to have officially used the title Prime Minister was Benjamin Disraeli, who signed the Treaty of Berlin using the term in 1878.
