Lord Mayor of London

a) in the UK we vote for a party, not for a prime minister. The PM is just the leader of the party in government
b) ‘we’ didn’t vote even for the Tories when Boris was PM - the members of the Conservative Party voted for him after Theresa May buggered off.
No.
In the UK we vote for an MP, who is usually a member of a party. Attempts to change the voting system to one where we vote for a party have never been popular with governments, that’s why we were offered AV in the 2011 voting referendum.
In the EU elections we voted for a party, but we don’t do that anymore.
