>(1) Britain's Prime Minister is the elected MP for the Maidenhead constituency in Berkshire.
It's worth pointing out that most of the people saying this about May are having a bit of fun. The Torys and right wing papers made a huge deal out of Gordon Brown being "unelected", but for some reason are silent when the same situation arrises with a Tory PM.
>(2) The Queen is the Head of State but does not control our Democracy - she doesn't even have a vote
She does have the power to veto laws though, and she has done so[1].
