Who voted for the Prime Minister ?


Assuming you don't mean the people of Maidenhead, it would have been The
Conservative Parliamentary Party. It wasn't her fault the only other
candidate withdrew, but on the other hand that was after a significant
defeat of the latter in the second ballot.


Though it was the same tory MPs and supporters who moaned about Brown
becoming Prime Minister in analogous circumstances.


but there weren't analogous

Brown won on walkover by bullying all the other candidates into not standing
