Tbh coincidence of your local mp helped not just because he is labour as you say. Fair play though it is normal to want to reward help. This is a fair appraisal I think, rewarding local MPs but not being blinkered to the policies of a party at national level.

When has the general public of non members ever chosen a PM. This is all how Corbyn got in to lead labour. Nothing is new here.

You keep blathering on about MPs not being party delegates but of course they are. I vote for the Conservative Party in elections no matter who they put up as a local candidate because I agree with their manifesto and I expect our local delegate to vote in accordance with the party manifesto. You talk about "fundamental differences" between the situations mentioned but the reality is that there are fundamental differences between what you think and reality in the world at large

The reality is that pretty much none of us have ever voted for a PM you have to live in their constituency to that. I actually agree with you I would prefer a system where we could elect our leader nationally because since Thatcher the role of PM has become presidential whereas before that it was collegiate, "First amongst equals". Until then we have to put up with the current process Callaghan and Brown were never voted into office. It would be nice if the new PM called an election within 6 months, we shall see. One more point
