Your personality as the prime minister feeds through to what you emphasise, and what you don't, how you'll handle a situation - whether you've got the combination of intelligence or instincts to adapt and to make good decisions.

A prime minister's job is to make sure the government works for those who have elected him, and not for big corporations.

Every prime minister ... has the responsibility to provide security for his people.

I serve at the discretion of the prime minister.

In my position as prime minister, I bear the highest responsibility for decisions.

The prime minister's job is to captain his team, his party and his government.
