To be fair its not like the public even voted Sunak in, they voted Boris in and we then got the Tory’s hand me downs (not that Boris was any better, granted)
you don’t vote for the prime minister, you vote for the party. no prime minister gets their position because the public wants them to. it’s an actual illusion of choice
While you are of course entirely right, people do tend to vote based on the issues the head of the party is championing at the time so I’d argue that it’s slightly more nuanced than just voting for the party given how the head of each party steers the policy in different directions
The UK populace is making a run at the throne for dumbest electorate in the world. USA has been the undisputed champ for years, but UK swinging!

Very few people in the UK ever vote a PM into power, and even those people only vote them in as an MP, technically.
Boris was an intellectual equal with the president of the United States at the time of his election, so I don’t know how they can talk.
as bad as Truss was she at least fucked off before completely driving the country down the shitter
Bring back Theresa May!
Steady now
Can you imagine? She actually would be an improvement, it’s ridiculous how bad the Tories are.
