Churchill became PM on the morning that Germany launched its invasion of France, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg.
Re: Churchill and Boris enter with a crisis.
A lawyer friend of mine says “Where there’s chaos, there’s opportunity.”
Winston took it on. Let’s hope Boris does the same.
Does the reigning monarch actually have the power to appoint the PM, or does the reigning monarch have to wait until the majority coalition elects a leader?
Elizabeth II is queen of Canada also - I recall when the Liberals elected John Turner as leader, Trudeau the Elder stepped down. I doubt the queen could have overriden the party’s wishes.
