They get five years in office, then he has to ask the Queen to call an election. He'd still be the leader of the Labour party though, and can only be removed from that job by a vote of the ruling executive and the parliamentary party. Which isn't going to happen.

Google+ To Reach 400 Million Users Within A Year, Statistician Predicts
Google+, the six-month-old site on which Google has pinned its social networking hopes and dreams, will have 400 million users within a year.
That's the bullish prediction made by Paul Allen, the founder of Ancestry.com and a self-described "unofficial statistician" for Google+.
Allen wrote in a post on Google+ that, according to his calculations, the social network has surpassed 62 million users and is adding 625,000 people each day, a number he expects will grow and help Google+ to reach 400 million users by this time next year.
Allen argues that the pace at which Google+ adds new members will speed up as more users join the service.
"I expect the growth to continue to accelerate however," Allen wrote. "Google can continue to integrate Google+ into its other products and word of mouth will continue to build. Most importantly, 700,000 Android devices are activated daily and this will become a very significant source of new users for Google+. That number will also grow next year."
Google has been mum about the size of Google+'s userbase since October, when Google CEO Larry Page announced that Google+ had surpassed 40 million members. A Google spokeswoman declined to comment on Allen's estimates.
