Answer 3

The longest serving PM was Gladstone, but it was not continuous:

The Rt Hon. William Ewart Gladstone
In office
3 December 1868 – 17 February 1874
23 April 1880 – 9 June 1885
1 February 1886 – 20 July 1886
15 August 1892 – 2 March 1894

The longest continuously serving PM was Robert Banks Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool,
In office
8 June 1812 – 9 April 1827

for those who thought it was Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher
In office
4 May 1979 – 28 November 1990

Anthony Charles Lynton Blair
In office since 2 May 1997

Hope this helps with what you want to do (I cannot find out how many days each one served - okay, so I could work it out but cannot be bothered! Sorry!)

Answer 4

Thatcher, but Blair is likely to become the longest serving Labour politician. If you can call this bunch Labour. I prefer Revolutionary party.

Answer 5

The term of a amazing Minister is appropriate to the term of people of the domicile of Commons. Parliament has a optimal term of 5 years; in practice, although, it rather is often "dissolved" faster with the help of the Sovereign, appearing on a request from the top Minister. in comparison to American presidential elections, uk parliamentary elections have not got a collection date. although, no extra advantageous than 5 years can bypass between elections. often the party in potential tries to call elections whilst they sense that they have got the terrific risk to do nicely. i've got faith that elections is often compelled with the help of a parliamentary vote of no self belief.
