Background
the UK requires stability in Government and in its leaders and it is unacceptable that a Prime Minister unelected by the UK public can Govern therefore unless through extreme Ill health or death an elected Party’s Prime Minister must continue for the term of that government. should the party have the desire to change its leader it can do so but subject to a general election.
