  Facing Parliament
The prime minister's power is strongly linked to Parliament. Tradition dictates that he or she must be a member of one of the houses of Parliament (usually, but not always, the House of Commons) and also lead the party that commands a majority in the Commons. Of all prime ministers, Wilfrid Laurier served the longest in the Commons, representing several different constituencies from 1874 to 1919.
