- Cameron should look to Australia for coalition tips | Mark Bennister
The new prime minister would do well to follow John Howard's example on maintaining power in a coalition governmentHH Asquith famously remarked that the office of prime minister is what the holder chooses and is able to make of it. So what does the future hold when the prime minister is part of a double act?Tony Blair, of course, had Gordon Brown in a duopoly, but tensions within parties between the leader and his potential rivals are part of British politics. It is a different matter when the style of the leader is cramped by an intruder from another party. With five cabinet ministers, the Liberal Democrats are over-represented around the cabinet table, impacting on the new prime minister's patronage powers.David Cameron could, however, look to the period of office of John Howard in Australia. Howard gained office with a slim majority in 1996 and managed to get himself entrenched there until 2007, when he was ousted from power and his own seat. His Liberal party (confusingly, Cameron's sister party on the centre-right) governed in coalition with the small rural National party. This formal anti-Labour coalition has existed in some form or other since 1922.The arrangement suits the alternative vote electoral system in Australia, as preferences always flow from the smaller National to the larger Liberal party (and the other way round). Howard won four consecutive elections, and in 2004, of the 150 lower house seats, Liberals won 74, National 12 and Labour 60. Whether or not Howard held a majority, the formal agreement with the Nationals meant campaigning as a coalition and governing as one. But was Howard constrained by the existence of a coalition partner?Howard had three successive National party deputy leaders with which to work Tim Fischer, John Anderson and Mark Vail 新首相も維持力に連立governmentHHアスクィスジョンハワードの例に従うことをするだろう有名な首相の事務所はどのような者が選択し、それを作ることができるですと述べた

- From the archive: Mrs Gandhi India's Premier
Originally published on 20 January 1966NEW DELHI, JANUARY 19Mrs Indira Gandhi, aged 48, the daughter of the late Mr Nehru, became India's new Prime Minister today in succession to Mr Shastri.She was elected leader of the ruling Congress Party by a massive majority, defeating the ascetic and conservative Morarji Desai, a former Finance Minister, who was at one time thought of as Mr Nehru's logical successor.This was Mr Desai's second defeat in the battle for succession. Twenty months ago he was vanquished by Mr Shastri.As Prime Minister of 480 million Indians, Mrs Gandhi becomes the world's most powerful woman, although she must concede to Ceylon's Mrs Bandaranaike the distinction of being the first woman Prime Minister in history.Mrs Gandhi pledged herself to serve the Congress Party and the country, and declared her adherence to the path shown by Gandhi, Nehru, and Shastri. A detailed policy statement will be issued by her only next week, after her cabinet is sworn in at the end of the mourning for Mr Shastri.But she said today that she would try to consolidate the peace with Pakistan for the sake of which Mr Shastri laid down his life, and she added that India's defences would be strengthened simultaneously. Mrs Gandhi is more radical than her father, and certainly more radical that Mr Shastri. It is doubtful if there will be any sharp switch in India's foreign and economic policies, although some shift of emphasis should not be ruled out.A woman's castleFor Indira Gandhi to be elected Prime Minister of India is as easy as it would be difficult for Barbara Castle to be elected Prime Minister of Britain. In India nothing stands in the way of women going to the very top. Indeed there can be no antifeminism when some of the most powerful gods are goddesses, wo 当初1月20日1966NEWニューデリー1月19Mrsインディラガンジー、48歳で公開され、故氏はネルーの娘、インドの新首相は今日の連続で氏Shastri.Sheになった与党の指導者が圧倒的多数で、議会民主党選出されたとして氏はネルーの論理successor.This承継のための戦いで氏はサイの2番目の敗北だった禁欲的で保守的Morarji Desai氏は、元財務大臣は、一人の時間だった破ると思った
