74% Informative
John Prescott's death is proof that the job of deputy prime minister is worth having.
The UK is not obliged to have a deputy PM (DPM) There have only been nine formally acknowledged as such in British political history.
Some of the most influential politicians of modern times have been DPM including Clement Attlee .
No DPM, FSS or "de facto" since Attlee and Eden in the 1950s has gone on to be prime minister.
The most successful DPMs - such as Heseltine and Prescott - were more colourful personalities than their bosses.
Prescott was a driving force for progressive Labour Party reform, devolution and climate change.
