Summary

Our exploration of three hundred years of prime ministers, and the experiences of the fifty-five different incumbents, is almost at an end. The country they led changed fundamentally over that three-hundred-year period, yet their job of leading the nation has in many respects remained the same. This final chapter seeks to provide answers to a number of questions that have come to the fore in the book.
