Did I miss the bit where they said "we should all get a say in the Tory leadership"?
-
-
-
Clearly you did. They are complaining that the next PM is being chosen solely by Tory party members.
-
They state that the general public is not involved in selecting the next PM. This is a fact.
-
The general public is not, and never has been, involved in selecting a PM.
-
Yes it is.
-
We don't elect Prime Ministers, they are chosen by MPs. The Conservative party will choose a new leader. That new leader will try to form a new Gov..
-
… and that new Government needs to maintain the confidence of the House of Commons. That's why there may be a General Election straight after the appointment of a new Conservative leader.
-
It's genuinely shocking how many people do not understand how the electoral system works in this country. When I have explained to people I know they don't vote for the PM, they are voting for their local representative in a general election, so many are surprised!

It's worrying that the
@labour party don't seem to understand that we don't vote for a PM in this country. Rather, we vote for the party. That's another reason added to the list... -
Edit * In the Uk* Just before someone jumps on me.

Wait, what? That suggests that this was a dictatorship then if you weren’t allowed to vote how you wanted to. And what’s Labours point exactly here anyway? Did we choose Gordon Brown as PM? No we fucking didn’t.
-
And BJ referred to that as an outrage.

I don’t get what all the fuss is about. We have never had the ability to vote for party leaders, and therefore PMs outwith GE. Now all of a sudden folk have become rabid about it. Where is all the outrage about not delivering Brexit? Oh I forgot, it’s one rule for one......
-
Rabid because currently the Brexit candidate is leading the polling - this is what they fear ...
-
I don’t fear Bojo in the slightest & hope he becomes PM, then you lot will finally see that the Brexit you crave is undeliverable! And, if we leave with no deal, you’ll have nobody to blame but yourselves for the chaos and damage that follows!
-
I have much more faith in our country and it’s people than you have, clearly!
-
I swear some of these remainers are suffering from Stockholm syndrome

I think you need a remix fella!

And you should read what Boris wrote about that.
-
Who cares what Boris wrote about that? It still happened without a single person other than His Tonyness getting a say whereas at east SOME of the electorate will get a say.
