For the sake of a balanced discussion … he has a mandate from the one place he actually needs one. From the King, acting on advice, that he’s the one most likely to enjoy the confidence etc etc etc.

At the risk of taking this off on a tangent, I’m curious to hear other posters’ ideas for how this system should be reformed. Because it seems to me that simply holding another general election doesn’t actually address the claimed problem (we don’t elect a prime minister and it’s clear from detailed polling and regional variations in people’s reasons for voting for various candidates that most people understand that’s not what they’re doing).
