But why should us mugs be surprised that a Prime Minister who was elected by the people can get turfed out by a bunch of faceless hacks? It was all explained perfectly by Sir Humphrey in "Yes Minister"
MPs are not chosen by 'the people' - they are chosen by their local constituency parties: thirty-five men in grubby raincoats or thirty-five women in silly hats
DH can vouch for this personally, as you can see from this picture of her descending on parliament in her most sensible pre-selectors hat.
