That's odd, because we don't vote for the Prime Minister in the UK.
We vote for our local MP's (member of parliament). Whichever party wins the most 'seats' gets to form the government, whoever leads the party becomes the prime minister.
Only party members vote for the party leader, and that's a different process altogether from a general election.
Thanks, I personally have no clue as to how elections work across the pond. The article does state "The Telegraph understands fears were raised that nefarious actors could change the votes of scores of party members, causing chaos to the democratic process". Who know could just be some sort of delay tactic.

I don't know anyone who cares which politician wins the leadership contest of the conservative party (thus who would become PM).
They're all a bunch of lying shysters.
Its just the MP's who choose the PM through the backbench 1922 Committee, the party members don't have a vote IMHO.
The only party that lets its members vote on who will lead them is the Labour Party.
Ah right, I did wonder that as I was writing it. Thanks.
