Re: Hitting back by NOT voting

I have couple of points, but I don't want to get into the main heavy debate.

- John Major did indeed initially become PM without a General Election, he did however win the 94 election so he was vote in to office by the Public, just not immediately.
- The PM is just the leader of the party in power, the leader of the opposition is the leader of that party at that time. You could bemoan that Tony Blair was never brought in as the leader of opposition by the public after John Smith died.
- You elect parties, not PMs. I would personally like this adjusted, as PMs have become so presidential in recent years.
