Just a point of clarification for our American audience. Although people often refer to a vote for a member of one of the major parties as a vote for that party's leader, we do not, in fact have the opportunity to elect a prime minister in the general election. Rather, we simply get to elect a local candidate who takes our concerns (or more often their own) to Parliament. The Prime Minister is technically appointed by the Queen, but is traditionally the leader of the largest party.
