    So UK voters have no direct say whatever in the selection of the next PM. Well played.

        Let's see if the many people who ruthlessly scorned the non-democratic transfer of power from Blair to Brown have similar qualms about this.

        Thanks, I'm completely familiar with the Westminster system. The mad rush to circumvent a leadership contest cut out voters.

        The Conservative party leadership contest culminates in a vote among members. That was circumvented.

        "Un-democratic" implies that a democratic process was circumvented. That's true. It's not a matter of "disliking" a politician

        They consciously worked to prevent the directly democratic aspect of the leadership contest.

        That's a separate issue from whether the democratic element of the process has been circumvented.

        this has happened 3 times in Australia since 2010 and many think it will happen again at some point before 2019.
