There is a lot better chance of getting a change of a bad govt. before its term is up. We vote for a party rather than a PM as well. The people who voted Labour not only knew who the party leader is but also have an entire shadow cabinet ready to step in. We don't have that here, nor do they have it in the US. You don't know who is going to be the Sec. of State until the President appoints him/her. In Israel cabinet positions are part of post-election negotiations and jockeying for position, much weirder than in either US or UK.goyisherebbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380171052449799815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-30536838570317575722017-06-10T20:37:12.510+03:002017-06-10T20:37:12.510+03:00It's a strange system, because nobody votes fo...It's a strange system, because nobody votes for Prime Minister. They vote their district representative. So I guess those people from Corbyn's Labor party did better than the Tory candidates.
