You do understand the difference?
Also as opposed to say, the US presidential elections where you vote for an actual individual.
In the UK you vote for a party. The party then decides who their leader is, and therefore who the PM is.
You are also voting on a party manifesto, it shouldn’t really matter who delivers as PM on that manifesto as long as it delivered.
If the party itself decides that the leader is not doing a good job, they can replace him.
So there you have two mechanisms where by you can remove a government or the government can replace a leader.
Which is two more than you get with an EU commissioner

Less of the patronising tripe please.
You hate the EU, I do not. You will never convince me that leaving the EU based on the agenda of moving to a right wing, low tax, low regulated free market paradise is the right thing to do.
