"The PM is never "elected", except by members of the party and by voters in their constituency."

Agreed. I've also felt the need to make this clear in these very forums a couple of times in the past too.

And yet we still have the media and "people in power" spouting off about Broris having a "mandate" because he got 66% of a vote from a very small group of people. As leader of the Tories, yes, he does have a significant mandate. But as PM he has no more of a mandate than T. May.
