As the head of the UK government, you meet world leaders and represent the UK around the world.

But you aren't in charge of everything. Power in the UK is shared out.

Parliaments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland also run lots of things, like schools, the environment, and farming.

One of the toughest parts of being PM is trying to do what you want while keeping the support of as many people as you can.

And trust me, that isn't a friendly chat.

And remember, the PM is given their job by their party, so you need to keep your own side happy too.

So while winning the race to get into Downing Street is one thing, staying there is another.
因此，赢得入主唐宁街的竞选是一回事，能留在那里则是另一回事。
