Now I know how the system works! Firstly we vote in a party to govern the country.

Then that party chooses one of them to be Prime Minister, presumably someone greatly versed in the esoteric workings of politics,resolute and determined, with a clear, calculating mind. The ability to negotiate on a par with other foreign leaders.

Then the first thing they do on entering No.10 is to have a meeting in the cupboard under the stairs with two, unelected nobodies, who it seems know more the PM about everything, who then proceed to tell the PM what to do, obviously not always with the desired effect.
