In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

So a guy calls into Heart FM Radio...he gets a voice on the other end of the line that says
"Congratulations on being the 100th caller of the day, you've been entered into competition with a prize worth $10,000"
"All you have to do is answer a simple question, and it's a geography question"
"Great" says the man, "I have a degree in geography and I've taught geography at high school for 10 years"
"OK" says the voice, "For two all-inclusive, VIP tickets, to the Green Bay Packers opening game of the season, what is the capital of France?"
"Cleveland" says the man.

Nope, you made an assertion about British politics that was/is completely wrong, but are not man enough to own it.

You have been made to look foolish and lost every point you've tried to make...and rather than admit you're wrong, you wimp out with some "not wasting my time" BS.

That rant is ofcourse too foolish to respond to. I hope you are having a Happy Thanksgiving.

Yes and no.

Depends on which party is concerned, and who you are.

The question had nothing to do with party. Can a British citizen vote directly for a Prime Minister? I already know the answer, but wonder if you do.

Yes it does, as you would know if you knew anything about British politics
Which clearly you don't.

I know what you are afraid to admit...that British voters do not directly vote for the Prime Minister.

Why Britons never actually vote for their prime minister

Observers of British politics can be forgiven for scratching their heads in recent weeks as they watch the country reel through prime ministers without holding an election.

Ordinary people can vote directly for the prime minister, in the UK, depending on which party is concerned, and under certain circumstances.

Because unless they are given by law, they can easily be taken away.

But if a right ***IS*** granted by law to you, it remains your right even if local politicians/law enforcement/public employees, try to take them away. Which is where you erred earlier.

All rights come from the governments that have authority to enforce them within their jurisdictional boundaries. So if a state doesn't grant a right within its borders you don't have that right within its borders. They are not taking away anything, they aren't granting it.
