Update:
Boris Johnson: 2019 - 2022 (Queen Elizabeth II)
Liz Truss: 2022 - 2022 (Queen Elizabeth II / King Charles III)
Rishi Sunak 2022 - Present (King Charles III) First British-Asian Prime Minister
Liz Truss was in charge for a month but she served under two monarchs 😂😭😭
So close to correct...Boris became PM in 2019...not 2016 though, surely??....so close!
We can all agree Grey will always be the goat
Lovely video, thank you, from The UK! ......... Incidentally, what was The WHIG party please??? Never heard of it! xx
Progressive aristocrats who despite their progressive instincts still wanted "the upper class to keep the upperhand".
A bit of a simplification but they were a faction of parliament that later merged with other groups into the liberal party (which merged in the 80's with the Socdems, technically making Edward Davey the successor of Walpole. Infact, the whigs are generally considered an evolution of the Roundheads/parliamentarians meaning Edward is a successor of Cromwell!)
TLDR: The whigs were the precursor of the Liberals
It all started with James the II and the Exclusion crisis. Two groups emerged regarding the matter, one was the "it shouldn't matter if he converts to Catholicism"= Tories; and the other was the "he is a political threat that needs to be removed"=Whigs. Both sides became linked with these positions with the Whigs being synonymous with the concept of parliamentary sovereignty; and the Tories being linked with the monarchy.
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson 7/24/2019 - 12/12/2019
& 12/12/2019 - 9/6/2022
Mary Elizabeth Truss 9/6/2022 - 10/25/2022
Rishi Sunak 10/25/2022 - present
God save the queen
I am a UK resident Boris was in 2019
Boris worst ever PM till Truss.
Ramsey Mcdonald dates for first premiership are overlapping, should be 1924?
Oops. I think that was a copy-paste mistake.
Gold face Zeus izzy
Before king George I
A prime minister in England would be considered treason
damn if only bojo was still pm
Crazy how many PM's ruled from the Lords
The conservative party seem to have won many PM positions since history in the UK government.
Most recent is Boris Johnson.
Kevin 🇵🇬
Yeah, they're basically the default power party
Great video and a good resource, but for dummies like me, I recommend turning the playback speed to 0.5 to maximize utility. (Gives you time to think about how monarch & party affiliation influenced policy in each case.)
Lol
Uk has had 2 prime minsters since the last listed here. Gotta keep up
Yep, old video.
