As opposed to voting for candidates? Yes, it's a parliamentary thing. The parliamentary system doesn't allow voters to choose a specific prime minister; rather, the parties choose the prime ministers and the voters choose the parties. A party leader may be a reason not to vote for a specific party, but our votes always go towards the party rather than the leader himself.
