Which is why Americans are held in the esteem that they are. That's why we have the President we have. What's your excuse for your PM? 73, doug |

He happened to be the leader of the party that got the most votes. He wasn't elected as an individual to the position of PM. He was only elected as a Member of Parliament by getting the most votes in his own constituency. |
