which is embarrassing because Boris actually was democratically elected.
The person doesn’t understand how elections work you vote in a party not the leader of the party.
Ah yes, dumbing politics down to comparisons with pop culture shit.
Eh, well. I mean the UK has a parlamentary system – so in theory the specific Head of Government shouldn’t matter so much, because when it comes down to it, the legislature controls the office and the policy. The issue is that it has a legislature with a qustionably emocratic election (FPTP, also you honestly need a country-based second chamber imo), as well as that the legislature refuses to do the job afforded to it here by replacing incompetent leaders with competent ones. It’s basically falling into the issue of presidentialism, all PMs since May being largely interchangeable, including many of their mistakes.
Also, it’s pretty dumb to tie party leadership (of the largest party) to PM-hood, because those are two seperate sets of skills and both a lot of work, but that’s neither here nor there.
This is fucking stupid even for this sub.
the left really are a ridiculous bunch

This sign would make a lot more sense for Sunak than it did for Bojo.
I think that was about liz truss or the sunak since Boris was elected.
