The resignation of Boris Johnson and his cabinet before him does not provide the opportunity for a brand new government to step up.
All those members of the PMs cabinet who resigned yesterday will get the opportunity to decide the new Conservative party leader. Most of them will likely form the new cabinet and one of them will be chosen as the new Prime Minister.
The PM isn’t chosen by the people. The decision doesn’t go to the public vote. There will be no general election.
The PM will be carefully selected in order to pacify the woke mob and legacy media. A pro-Brexit Conservative who goes against <insert current narrative> would be bad for social justice optics. Particularly for a party whose reputation is in the gutter.
Whatever your opinion of Johnson, this isn’t a win. It’s replacing him with another WEF puppet who’s going to play nicely with the EU. All whilst playing musical chairs and reinstalling those who previously “resigned”.
Then the left will yell for a general election as the new PM has “no mandate”.
And so continue the theatrics.
I was commenting generally and not specifically to any party in the UK. I suppose different political parties have their own systems for internal elections that vary from each other (i,e/ In the US the Dems have "super delegates," party insiders with more influence in the leadership selection process).
As for the House of Lords/Commons question, not something I know about. Maybe someone in the UK can answer.
