[QUOTE="Hindsight, post: 6303724, member: 3169"] While I support your sentiment can I just remind you the UK does not have a presidential system of government. We vote for a collegiate system of government, not a presidential system. So the Prime Minister is aptly titled as he or she is the 'Prime' minister in a collective cabinet collegiate system. So does not have total control or say over direction as would a President. And we are seeing that actively played out now - in that the 'Prime' minister has to carry and have support of their cabinet to continue in the role of Prime Minister. We shall likely watch this again in the coming months as the Tory Party is likely to vote in Boris Johnson as leader and thus become PM. But he too will have to carry his cabinet and Parliament with him. And although he may stuff the cabinet full of Leavers and remove Remainers from cabinet, the natural checks and balances in our political system mean the body of Parliament may still refuse to go with his policies. Only if the country as a whole through local political activists replaces sufficient numbers of MPs with committed No deal leavers and a General Election returns them to Parliament may a Leave PM get a No deal through the Parliamentary system. Fascinating to watch for the pupil of politics and Parliaments - which have evolved in post medieval non dictatorial countries to achieve consensus and a middle ground. [/QUOTE]
