Suprisingly perhaps only 12 out of 24 the changes in Prime Minister over the last 100 years have been after a General Election. There is nothing unconstitutional about it and indeed we don’t technically ever have a direct say in who will be PM. We have (had) a Parliamentary democracy and that is how it should have remained. The chaos we are now facing is a direct result of passing decision making to the electorate via a referendum, something they were ill equipped to do and then compounding the folly by allowing party members to vote for a new leader rather than restricting it to MPs.
