British Tory Party's Game Of Musical Chairs To Pick Next UK Prime Minister Enters Final Round

A race by eleven pygmy right-wing politicians who all wanted to be the next chair of the "Conservative" (Tory) party in Britain began about two weeks ago. Only one will get to sit in the seat. That person will then be anointed prime minister of the country, head of government, since the Tories control Parliament with a big majority of MPs (Members of Parliament).

The field was winnowed down to four by several rounds of voting by the Tory MPs. The final round between the two left standing will be decided by the entire Party membership. The lucky winner will then be anointed by the Tory politicians in Parliament as prime minister. 

So the next PM will be chosen by the approximately 200,000 members of the Conservative Party. Britain is a country of over 67,000,000 people. But there will be another election for Parliament in a couple of years. The citizens will then get to choose which politicians will pick the next PM. That's democratic enough, right?

The Magnificent British Parliament, Birthplace Of Democracy! Sail On, Oh Noble Ship Of State!
