I serve at the discretion of the prime minister.

I will do exactly as the Prime Minister asks me.

Being a prime minister is a very demanding job. And as long as I have the strength, I will continue to do this and be of benefit to my country.

I will do what the Prime Minister asks me to do; that is my consistent approach to politics and to service.

I would like to become the prime minister, do the job for two years, and then leave and devote myself to public work.

I can not, therefore, see how this can be imputed as a crime, or how any of the king's ministers can be blamed for his doing what the public has no concern in; for if the public be well and faithfully served it has no business to ask by whom.

No-one is forced to stand for Parliament; no-one is compelled to become a minister. If you take on those roles, which are great privileges, you also take on big responsibilities.

I don't want to be Prime Minister of England, I want to be Prime Minister of the whole of the United Kingdom.

Being prime minister is a lonely job... you cannot lead from the crowd.

Asking for a royally appointed prime minister is undemocratic. It is, pardon me, a mess. It is irrational.
