'... power rests with the prime minister, and he can only pass legislation my a majority vote in the parliament.'
You may wish to look up "Order in Council"; though this is not exactly the equivalent of Executive Order in that there is minimal backing in legislation. That legislation, however, can transfer an aweful lot to cabinet.

It would be better for you to get up once an hour or so and take a stroll; smell the flowers.

If these morons can get jobs in computing, then the return of $10k signing bonuses can't be too far off; woo hoo! DotCom revisited!
