General Elections Are Not Presidential Elections

Of course Brown is elected. He is elected as an MP, and therefore eligible to be Prime Minister. The only person with the power to remove him is the only person with the power to appoint him. That's how we do things in this country.

Still, it's no surprise that a lot of people don't seem to grasp this, now that our capital city purports to be a republican city-state. Or is it vice versa?
