Britons don’t vote in prime ministers. The last time Britain voted a plurality (not majority) Boris Johnson was PM. Since then Liz Truss was put in as unelected leader, then removed, then Rishi Sunak was put in. The last time the country voted for a new prime minister in an election (and by that I mean they voted for a majority of MPs) was 1997. Before that was 1979 with Thatcher. Major was appointed in 1990, Brown was appointed in 2007, Cameron came to power with coalition dealing, but at least had a plurality, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak all appointed by their party membership at most.
