The last election the second party lost by a landslide, they have no opportunity to form a government.
- iso1631 6y agoOf the last 4 Prime Minsters (Johnson, May, Cameron, Brown) of the UK, none of them became prime minister by heading a party who won a majority of seats at an election -- the last person to do that was Tony Blair in 1997. Before then it was Margaret Thatcher in 1979. It's an exception, rather than the rule. Cameron did win a plurarity of seats in 2010, but his 36% of the vote wasn't enough on it's own. It's exceedingly likely the next Prime Minister will equally be appointed without a public vote.
