The way I read this thread, you all sound like 'Torys' complaining about your 'choices' during the 'election' of your 'party leader (president)'.

How many 'elections' can a 'party' undertake before a 'choice' goes out to 'the public'? For answers to this, look to 'The Blair Years of Government'!

IMHO when a Prime Minister 'resigns' because their 'Cabinet Ministers' can't support them, a 'majour fault' exists in the 'ethos' between the 'party leader' and 'the party'. Again, IMHO where this scenario exists, the 'governing party' can no longer form an effective 'Government' simply because either, 'the party' is 'at odds' with the manifesto that their, 'leader got them elected by', or the 'Prime Minister (and/or their objectives altered)' has 'strayed' from the 'party objective'. Whatever!!!

These 'issues' should be put to 'the people' and not just decided within the 'party politic' of the 'Walls of Westminster'!

It's late and perhaps I drank too much. Think about my comment.

Kindest regards, Ray Dart (AKA suricat).

Don't worry about it. All opinions are welcome

Thanks for the 'invite' velvet donkey.

Guys! The problem here is, IMHO, 'the democraic mandate'! 'First past the post' was a 'reasonable system' to select a 'Governing Party' whilst there were only 'two parties' up for a 'General Election' (Whigs and Tories), however, 'more than two parties' up for a General Election statisticaly reduces the 'probabillity' of a 'mandate' from 'the people' taking part in a General Election. I'll 'elucidate/expand' on this statistic if requested.

IMHO, now that we have several 'parties' involved in a UK General Election we need a form of 'PR' (Proportional Representation) to 'employ a governing body' that can 'accurately' be representive of 'the people' that they 'represent'.

If 'The Blear Years' didn't 'hobble' the call for a General Election to a 'five year period', or 'when the Ruling Party' decided to call 'a General Election', we'd have already had a General Election immediately after Boris Johnson got us out of Europe. Let's face it, 'Boris' had the 'charisma' to 'expidite', but lacked the 'direction' to achieve this for the 'majority'. Nuf said!

I agree about the fact that we need a new voting system â€Ķ.and  I think we also need reform to stop a new prime minister foisted on us without a general election .

Thanks for your support Baz, but I think we need to get back to the primary subject of this thread and not the 'digression' that I took it to.

Whilst I 'digressed', I also aluded to the 'true desire' of 'the people' (now I sound like a 'communist' [this is untrue]). However, the needs of the people are 'paramount' to the responsabillities of 'any governing body' (the 'governing body' is 'required' to 'care' for the electorate that 'elected' them)!

But we didn't 'elect' Liz Trust. She just 'appeared' in our 'BBC News updates' and gave us Kwasi Kwartang as a 'treasury securaty'' within our government

But as such, Suricat, we don't DIRECTLY elect  the Prime Minister. We elect a political party and the party elects a leader who then becomes PM. Yes, we generally know who the leader of each party is before the election, but we are usually electing the party on their manifesto and hoping/expecting THEIR elected leader to do a decent job.
