The Queen asks the leader of the party who have the most seats in the House Of Commons to form her Government. That person is the Prime Minister.

in short, the parties select their own leaders, and the leader of the party which wins the general election (which must be held at least once every 5 years - last was 2005) becomes Prime Minister.

The parties each have a leader. A general election is held (a government can only last 5 years). The country is divided into constituencies or areas. The party which wins most areas wins the election and that party becomes the government of the day. The leader of the winning party goes to see the Queen who asks that person to lead the country as prime minister. The Queen's involvement is historical and hugely symbolic. Because the size of the constituencies vary it is possible for one party to have more votes nationwide and still lose the election. The system is called first past the post and is favoured by both Labour and Conservative. The Liberal/Democrats would like to see a system called proportional representation where the result of the election is based on the number of votes given to each party overall so that if Labour got 50% the Conservatives 30% and the Lib/Dems 20% the make up of the Government would be in that ratio. The Lib/Dems are in favour of this system because they would get a bigger representation in the Government. On a first past the post system they will always finish third.

The Prime Minister is chosen by the Queen and she is bound to appoint someone who can command the support of a majority of the members in the House of Commons. Generally this means the leader of the party with the most seats in the House.

The leader of each party is selected (generally) by the members of that party, although methods of election vary.
