Party leaders are elected by party members , there is no other way, if once a party won an election it would be mayhem if people from all parties voted for PM.

Is it any wonder that people just can't be bothered?

And we only know the face they choose to show us when trying to get elected - then when they are in, they change their spots.

Possibly papaoscar but can you imagine the publicity machine that would swing into action? hmm

We've had a succession of dodgy and slippery Prime Ministers over recent years, and the current one is no better, as the hacking and Leveson cases reveal. Is it not about time that that the electorate voted for who is to become Prime Minister, and not just leave it to the party hacks to produce one of their own?
