        The Prime Minister is something like speaker of the house plus the non-ceremonial parts of being President rolled up in one.

          Yeah, but it’s a tiny island nation. Barely the size of a u.s. state. They lost any power they had when they left the eu.

            It’s larger than most US states in terms of area, and bigger than California in terms of population, with a similarly-sized economy. That’s big enough to still matter.
