Re: [Updated] Boris elected Tory leader
It was a fair and democratic contest and he got 67.4% of the votes, i can't see what there is for anyone to complain about.

So 92,153 is more than 134,446?
Your reality is "interesting"...
The % was higher, but of a lower number of votes, so the numbers (actual votes) were lower for BJ.

Typical rubbish.
1. His constituency voted him as MP.
2. You are an insulting person with no basis for that assertion.

1. Only just, he might be in trouble next time if the opposition parties do a deal.
2. Fair enough, but you know I'm right

The British population do not vote for a leader of a party, the party members do.
He has not been voted in as Prime Minister by anyone.

As has been explained, many, many, many, many, many times. We do not operate a presidential style of democracy or election.
It is the party and the party’s manifesto we vote for. ( a charismatic leader is a bonus) whoever the leader of the party is, is prime minister.
All other parties operate the same method of electing their leader, i don’t hear cries of foul because the country didn’t get a chance to decide on the leader of the LibDems.

I mean obviously the difference here is that when the party doing is in power then they're shifting from the leader who won the initial mandate. Opposition parties will be forced to go to the country with their leader before that leader becomes PM.
But I don't really care. We've had this happen so many times: Major, Brown and May herself. It's a normal part of our system.

He knows. He’s just trolling because he doesn’t like Tories. Oddly enough he apparently didn’t have anything to say about it when Gordon Brown took over from Tony Blair ...
