Whilst I sympathise with the sentiment of parent, I believe the downvotes are for failing to understand how mandate works in our parliamentary democracy. We, the voting public in the UK, never vote directly elect our government. We give a mandate to our local MP and then they decide who forms the government. Further, we vote for our local MP knowing ahead of time that they could change who they decide will form the government at anytime before the next general election. Even if we don't like the current government, they do have a democratic mandate.
