Also, I assume Boris will be calling a General Election immediately after he was so vehemently against Gordon Brown inheriting the job from Blair without one.

They were at no stage invited to vote on whether Gordon Brown should be PM… They voted for Tony, and yet they now get Gordon, and a transition about as democratically proper as the transition from Claudius to Nero. It is a scandal. Why are we all conniving in this stitch-up? This is nothing less than a palace coup… with North Korean servility, the Labour Party has handed power over to the brooding Scottish power-maniac.” Upholding his upstanding democratic values he can't serve as leader without being elected by the people right?

I've heard the view expressed that in GB we don't vote for a PM, like the Americans vote for a President, we vote for a party. Edited by Willo (13 Jun 2019 11.58am)
