∙ 13y agoIn Parliamentary systems, the Prime Minister is a member of the legislative assembly who is in charge of the Executive Branch, including the Cabinet (also members of the assembly). The Prime Minister and Cabinet must be supported by the majority of the assembly in order to stay in power. If the majority oppose the Prime Minister, he can be dismissed with a Vote of No Confidence, which results in an election being called.
In the UK, the last time this was done was in 1979, with the Prime Minister losing by one vote. In the 1974 election, the Labour Party had gained a majority by just 3 seats. They lost their majority after a series of by-elections.
