In the UK the official head of state is the queen, but the practical head of state is the PM, and the PM is not selected directly by the people, but is leader of the main party in the lower house of parliament (ie - the parliament of local representatives of each constituancy (which is an area of approx 80,000 people)).
Brown is PM, and he is very very unpopular.
