I don't live in a country that has a pariamentary system of government, but my understanding is that you can't select a prime minister - you vote for a party (or a slate of candidates from a party) and the party picks the prime minister.

You stand no chance of being an MP unless you stand for something. Even the major parties have manifestos (yes, I know). If you believe in some cause - as for instance Dr. Taylor of Kidderminster believed in saving his hospital - you should campaign for that. You could write to the local paper, set up a campaign group, collect a petition etc. etc. It will take over your life! You may or may not find that standing for parliament, or more likely the local council first, is a good way of pursuing this cause. And by that time you ought to have a group that will set up democratic selection procedures.\n\nOne of the increases in bureaucracy under the present government has been the introduction of rules for political parties. I disapprove because it is for the people to form parties, not bureaucracy to constrain them. Be that as it may, if you form a political party you will have to register it (unless it is to be an illegal  subversive organisation) with the Electoral Commission, and submit annual accounts etc. \nLook up:-\nwww.electoralcommission.gov.uk\nI dare say if you were serious somebody at the Commission would give you informal advice or at least send you some bumpf.\n\nUnfortunately, now that it's a bureaucratic procedure setting up a party will cost you money. Unless your cause has a lawyer volunteer, you should probably pay somebody to get your constitution watertight and quite possibly to prepare the registration. And you would need, again unless you could get a professional volunteer, an accountant. That's before the expense of elections and raising a deposit.\n\nBeing an MP for a minority party is not fun. It is very hard work. Unless you are from London  you will  have to live away from home. And your consituents will expect you to get things done whilst the major parties will be out to crush you. Basically, for most people there are beter ways of seeking political influence at the moment. If you really want to be an MP, you are probably best to seek to join whichever large party is nearest your own beliefs and seek to change it a little bit in the direction you want to go.\n\nDon't think MPs have more power and prestige than they actually do!

First, you need to posses a very charismatic personality and have the ability to get people follow your every word.  You also need a have a slightly distorted vision on what life in your country should be.  Once those are in place you then need to systematically get people to believe in your vision and have them vowel to lay down their lives for you and your cause.  Once this is in place you then create a plan of the most vulnerable areas and begin to gain a strong hold in these areas. Once that is accomplished you then eliminate your opposition and start laying down rules and punishments for the unconverted masses.  Once all this is completed and you are in power, you then need to rule with an iron fist and make examples of those who reject your thinking.  Just make sure you are surrounded by people who you most trust.  \nGood luck in your future endeavors.

Everyone from here is joining mine anyway. You can join. It doesn't have a name yet, but we are pushing for world peace and the death penalty and the stocks. Apply for a position. You cannot have Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary or Home Office, because they are gone. Oh, and you need to bring about £1 million because we are bankrupt.

You usually need five years of legal permanent residence and the ability to speak and write English.  If you do not know how to spell the word "what," you will more than likely not pass the required English examination.

They both have a type of executive: President for the USA and Prime Minister for Britain.  They are also both representative governments.  Their legislative branch is broken down into houses--House of Lords and House of Commons--similiar to our--Senate and House of Representatives. The Prime Minister also has a Cabinet. And of course, they have the basics--exectutive, legislative, and judicial--though they are set up differently.\nThat's all I can think of.

Technicaly, you don't have to sudy anything for a political career.  You do need public support, however, typically in the form of petitions in order to run for office.  Specific requirements may vary depending what position you're running for and where it is located (i.e. To be the President you have to be at least 35 years old).  While there are no specifc professions required, certain professions (i.e. Lawyers) will put you in a better position to start a political career.

Oh and can't forget, must have a ton of your father's money at your disposal.\n\nIf you can cover those basic rules, you'll be golden.

Some people say that you need to be 'in there' to work your way up.\n\nHowever, the government is very bias and they don't like new people coming up, as it's competition they don't want.\n\nYou need a lot of money to invest, so must be quite rich to start off with. (Why do you recon these members of parliament don't mind the taxes being raised?) \n\nYou have to do several broadcasts, publicity shoots, advertising campaigns etc.\n\nAt the end of the day they are out there to line their own pockets. So, if you really think you can gain the majority support of the nation and keep the government on side then go for it.\n\nThey're all a bunch of hypocrits so try not to join them

You can become a politician.

First, make sure that you can legally become President.  The major limitations are that you are over 35 years of age and you were born an American citizen.  Current law does not allow naturalized citizens to become President.  (Sorry, Ahnold).\n\nSecond, you will probably have to align yourself with one of the two major parties - Democratic or Republican.  Independent or third-party candidates have a hard time succeeding in today's political climate.  George Wallace in the 50's, Anderson in the 80's and Perot in the 90's were probably the closest to getting elected.  However, historically, third-party candidates have gotten in, kinda.  Lincoln won his first term as a Republican when that party was only a decade or two old.\n\nThird, you will have to develop a demeanor that is media-friendly.  This extends to limiting any behavior, business dealings, personal relationships, friends, etc.  Political survival is more about working the media than any actual plans/goals for representing the people.\n\nFourth, get a college education, perferably an advanced degree.  There is too much going on in this world for someone who is not educated to deal with.\n\nFifth,  Try to be genuine.  You are going to deal with a lot of people, many of whom will not like you.  Getting along with them is one way of achieving your goals.
