You keep forgetting that the 'stupid and incompetent' Boris was voted in by the public, so are you insinuating (along with others) that over 60% of the people interested enough to vote are stupid too?
That leads to the thinking that if the majority of the UK population who have an interest in politics are stupid, why do we bother with a voting system?
Why don't we just let those who desire to be PM fight it out by competing against each other in a few tests? They could all play a chess tournament, do Sudoku puzzles, the Times crossword, and appear on Mastermind . . . overall winner takes it all.
. . . or we could just let those who gather the most cash pay for the position
