| - The prime minister of the Commonwealth of Britain is the elected head of government in Britain. They are the leader of the lower house of Britannia, the House of Commons as well as the executive branch the Cabinet of Ministers. The current prime minister is William Fawcett of the Conservative Party, who was elected in 2012. Prior to 1919 the office was not established by any official law. The origins of the position can be traced back to parliamentary reform in the 1700's that saw the Lord Protector of Britannia take a more consultative role as gradually more power was handed over to parliament, with the leader of the dominant political coalition or party in parliament often acting as the unofficial head of government in the Lord Protector's steed, although the latter still had the ability to function as an autocrat. The mid-1800's saw the beginnings of a Westminster system of governance under the Lord Protector Arthur Wellesley who saw the role of prime minister become more influential within government as the Lord Protector became an increasingly ceremonial position outside of military affairs. However by 1919 the influence of prime minister had been reduced to the Lord Protector's deputy who served as the de facto autocrat of Britain. Following the British Revolution the role of Lord Protector carried less power as the prime minister was inaugurated as the official head of government although in practice the Council of State led a collective leadership with the prime minister being regarded as a first amongst equals. Since 1945 the role of prime minister has been firmly established as the pre-eminent figure in British politics, with the head of state the Paramount Leader having an entirely ceremonial role. Those who hold the office of Prime Minister also hold the positions of First Minister of the Treasury and the Minister for the Civil Service.
