Does it mean tbat HM's Government is now HM's Administration? I knew Administration is used in the US as equivalent to Govt, but not in the UK or other European countries. In my country Government and Administation are different concepts.
Say the UK was to have a General Election next week and the Conservatives lost to Labour. The current Prime Minister would resign, along with the Conservative Government and the Labour leader would be invited by the King to become Prime Minister and form a new Government.
In our current scenario we have a Government who are still in power and hold the adminstration of running the country. If a Prime Minister chooses to resign when their administration has an overall majority (as in 2022 twice), it is for the party or parties in government (and their members) to identify who can be chosen as the successor. The Prime Minister only formally resigns and recommends a successor to the Monarch once this process is over.
