More disturbing in that you can vote in the election even if you are not a UK resident. All sorts of weirdos can vote for our next PM.

That is the business of the Conservative Party. They are the ones that elect their leader, not the Labour Party, who are in hock to the unrepresentative trade unions who are intent on overthrowing governments with which they disagree.
