Abstract
Party leaders (plural, not singular) collectively dominate their party, so the party leader as prime minister, when they are sufficiently personally resourced to make full use of their prime ministerial institutional resources, should be predominant within both party and government. Being predominant, which makes the prime minister a ‘stronger or main element’ within government, provides them with considerable, never overwhelming influence. All party leaders are preeminent, but only some predominant. David Cameron, building on his performance in opposition, has established his predominance within his party, but to what extent is he predominant as prime minister? What restrictions can coalition government impose on his use of his prime ministerial power resources?
