Original Note:
The PM does not wield power unopposed. It is a fundamental principle of the British constitution that the government must retain the confidence of the legislature. If MPs are unhappy with a decision taken by the PM they can test support by calling a confidence motion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_motions_in_the_United_Kingdom
