Alan Arthur Johnson (born 17 May 1950) is a British Labour Party politician who is the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Before that, he filled a wide variety of cabinet positions in both the Blair and Brown governments, including Home Secretary from June 2009 to May 2010, Health Secretary and Education Secretary. He has been Leader of the Labour Party since 2010. The 2010 general election led to Johnson becoming Prime Minister as the head of a rainbow coalition government with the Liberal Democrats, Scottish National Party, Plaid Cymru, Social Democratic and Labour Party, Alliance Party and the Green Party. His premiership was marked by the ongoing effects of the late-2000s financial crisis; these involved a large deficit in government finances that his government sought to reduce through investment measures. His administration introduced large-scale changes to welfare, immigration policy, education, and healthcare. It legalised same-sex marriage and reformed the House of lord to a Semi-elected chamber. Johnson's government also devolved more powers to the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly.

Lord Protector before election |
Elected Lord Protector Jeremy Stewart |
The Britannic Lord Protector election of 2008 was the 46th Lord Protector Election. It was held on Thursday, May 8, 2008. There were three major candidates: Incumbent Conservative Lord Protector Hiram Richards; Labour MP Jenny Murphy, and Liberal Senate Majority Leader Jeremy Stewart.
Richards had alienated most of his Conservative base by increasing taxes. His main strength, foreign policy, was not seen as a priority issue and he could not capitalise on it due to the recession following the 2007 banking crisis and all time high unemployment. His failure and refusal to negotiate and work with both House of Parliament had led to a media storm and created divisions within the Conservative Party.
The Labour Party nominated MP Jenny Murphy after a hotly contested convention in January 2008. They ran a campaign against austerity but the divisions of the convention and lack of a central, unifying message hindered their campaign and performance in the debates.
The Liberal Party unanimously chose Senate Majority Leader Jeremy Stewart at the 2007 Party conference, after no candidate could gain the support of their local parties. The Liberals campaigned against the forced austerity, a radical new taxation policy and the protection of social justice all under the campaign slogan "Britannia's New Deal".
Stewart won a surprise and unforeseen landslide in the popular vote, and a majority landslide in the Electoral College margin taking the majority of first place votes. Richards saw his vote collapse, while Murphy and the Labour Party saw an overall decrease, but gained many second place Electoral College votes. As of 2024, this is the most recent election in which an incumbent Lord Protector was unseated, the last one having been the 1976 election in which Margaret Thatcher unseated then-incumbent James Callaghan.
