re: #213 Yeah Sure WhatEVs

What…just handing it to someone else without an election? Like….they inherit the job? How does that work?

In a parliamentary system, the Prime Minister isn’t directly elected by the people, he is elected by parliament. BoJo is resigning, so parliament will select a new PM. Since the Tories have the majority, once they have selected a new party leader, they will elect him PM, with the Queen’s ok of course, which is mostly ceremonial.
