My understanding of British politics is that every so often someone (not necessarily the people) decides it's time to have a new government and then 2 or three people posture about and then we find out someone wins and I'm not clear of when the voting happened. Is it just because your entire campaign season is like a week long and I missed it? Or does voting actually occur in these scenarios?
Because it feels like we're all just watching the news in Britain waiting to see which new regressive chump takes over, with the country's general opinion towards all of it to be something akin to, "bunch of fucking wankers."
But that's my assessment from way over here.

@oliphant we know who the chump is. We're just waiting to see how regressive he turns out to be.

@oliphant European elections in general are much less expensive than a presidential campaign in the US. This means they rely less on wealthy donors, which is a good thing.
The latest UK one was actually voted on, which is how the ruling party changed. The previous 2 were just the prime minister being kicked out by parliament and then replaced.

@fishidwardrobe Was there an actual vote held over this changing of the guard? I mean, among the people. I really have a terrible grasp of how this works.
