She was elected by the Conservative Party who was elected by the electorate, what is the problem????
Get rid of that stinking corrupt Europe, make Britain Great Britain again when we all traded world wide before Europe stole it all off us.
Those who want Europe, go and live there, and the rest of us will be happy.

Lewis, she was elected as an MP by her constituents - the voters don't choose the Party Leader, the Party does, she was elected leader by her Party who were elected by the people - therefore she is an elected politician who the Cons Party have elected as their Leader and Prime Minister. Lets get things right, please.

So going by that definition, the term Carpetbagger could be applied to the current British Prime minister. Today it is an insulting term for someone who tries to move in from outside to seize an election dishonourably,

seeing as she was not elected to the post of PM.

At least this wee Krankie was elected as first minister

So what's your problem, many have stepped into the post of Prime Minister when the incumbent has abdicated before full term, both Labour and Conservative and is part of our political system and entirely legal. We realise of course that all European countries are paragons of virtue and Spain in particular the local mayors are incorruptable, I know because my British friends living in Spain have told me so, but of course are willing to do you a 'favour' for a consideration and their family get the business

Here in WA we have just had a big swing to the Labour side of politics. This has put the alarm into the Federal Liberty Party, as far as I am concerned I voted for neither in WA. Being a voter with no particular party to practice obeyance to, I just vote who I think would be best for the country and of course myself. The leader of the Federal Labour party at present does not appeal to me, as seems to carry too much baggage with him, his recent outbursts about Trump do not promise any future for him as a Statesman of any calibre, I think if the Labour party changed its leader for a more acceptable figure, you would see the Labour party out here come right up in the polls at present, by his loose mouth he must have put many voters off, there again he never expected Trump to get in, and himself being an avid poll watcher listened to what he wanted to hear. Politics you either love em or hate em. I try to ignore them and wouldnt cross the street to shake hands with any of them. JWS

Chris #12, you are so right mate, there are so many uneducated persons politically who just do not understand the system.

We had a case here a couple of weeks back where two were found to be rorting their 'perks' so the system is now to be changed.

There is also a push for all politicians to live in their electorates.

We have one, Labor, who represents a seat with the highest unemployment and the highest number of people in funny clothing claiming to represent the people. While he live sin one of the most affluent parts of Melbourne.

Gordon Brown was not "elected as a Prime Minister" he just took over from Bliar
