This is scary as the new "leader" effecively writes a new manifesto
to get elected by unelected tories (120K out of 55m) which will be totally from the one they stood for at the last election.
Then without a mandate from anyone they go to the queen and says "Hey Liz I'm the new kid in town you've got to pick me*"
Then the first thing Corbyn does (elected by his 100k members as the best Labourite) is call a vote of No confidence and the DUP (elected by half the people in NI) can say up yours we don't like you so we'll agree with the no confidence vote as will the Lib Dems (with their new leader selected by only their members)
Therefore the second action of the new "PM" wil be to disolve parliament for a General Election
This would mean that an unelected "leader" (We're only 8 weeks old and have no policies other than making my mates loads of money) jumps for joy and says he's the reason that we're in this mess...but hasnt a clue other than soundbites how to solve it.
The main villain of course is sitting in his hermit's caravan in Devon counting his royalties.
The only party where the leader is elected by their MP's is Change UK, but that's only because they don't actually have any members!
*P.S. Liz of course can tell the new tory leader to piss off as its her country (as her ancestor Charles I did) but this time I think that the Royalists would probably win!
