As the Head of Her Majesty's Government the modern Prime Minister leads both the Cabinet and a major political party that usually commands a majority in the House of Commons. The office of Prime Minister’s origins lie in the early 18th century when the office of First Lord of the Treasury was established by King George. The term ‘Prime Minister’ was originally a term of abuse, suggesting that the holder had risen above
other ministers improperly. It was around 1805 that the term was starting to be used to reflect the role we recognize. Robert Walpole is generally regarded as being the first to hold the post although that description was not official at the time. There have been 53 Prime Ministers in total, averaging five and a half years in office.
