        so just to reiterate... we do NOT directly elect PMs in the UK! And yes, it is the most successful long lasting democracy in history.

        What a stupid article! Britain's is not a Presidential system like France/US. A PM is NEVER directly chosen by the electorate.

        Our own version of uncontested female leader could happen here. Trump may be universally considered unelectable by November.
