Quite a lot ,Obama is the leader of his country ,Cameron is the leader of the Conservative Party .America votes for a leader ,we vote for a party .That's not to say that the leader of the party and their popularity doesn't have some bearing on who votes for the party .

The office is not established by any constitution or law but exists only by long-established convention, which stipulates that the monarch must appoint as prime minister the person most likely to command the confidence of the House of Commons; this individual is typically the leader of the political party or coalition of parties that holds the largest number of seats in that chamber
