We don’t elect a leader, we elect a representative (not a deputy or delegate) who is charged with using their best judgment on our behalf for the following five years, etc etc etc etc

Again you choose to ignore the point I made and that was the hypocrisy of the process when compared to the rules set for the 2016 referendum, etc. I thought the point was a bloody obvious one .. others got it except you it seems.
Also, don't give me that pompous "Party members don’t choose prime ministers. Not ever." crap. Come back here in 2 weeks (ish) time and tell me that the person chosen by the (15 year old
) Tory Party membership is not the next Prime Minister.
