a prime power

If the left secures a majority of seats in parliament, Socialist leader Lionel Jospin would likely become prime minister in a power-sharing arrangement with President Chirac.

如果左翼在议会中获得多数席位，社会党领袖莱昂内尔·若斯潘可能会成为总理，与总统希拉克分享权力。

Brown spent the best part of a decade harassing Blair, demanding that the prime minister resign and hand over power to his jealous chancellor of the Exchequer.

布朗花费了十年中大部分的时间去阻挠布莱尔，要求首相辞职并移交权力给他猜疑的财政大臣。

Yet such matters are not susceptible to a quick fix, and as prime minister he will have little more power in these areas, except perhaps in education, than he has had for a decade as chancellor.

而这些事情都不可能迅速解决。在这些领域，相比其担任十几年的财政大臣来讲，当首相，几乎没有更多的权力，或许教育领域除外。
