The thing is, it's the MPs that oust and the party members that elect - only a minority of MPs are needed for the nomination but significantly more are needed to actually govern. So until the MPs finally unilaterally appoint rishi, this absolutely could keep happening lmao

the lesson i've taken since, uh, 2016 or so is that anglo governments run purely on a bunch of conventions and unwritten rules of conduct and such, with nothing actually stopping someone from not caring about these rules and loving things up. you might even call it "decorum".

so yeah, i assume parliamentary systems work as you're assuming. the only thing stopping bad actors is decorum

They were created around social relations and economic conditions that no longer exist, finance capital does not have the same vulnerabilities to public upheaval the landed gentry did.

I've made a psycho call to the woman I love, I've kicked a dog to death, and now I'm going to pepper spray an acquaintance. Something... I mean, what's happened to me?
Truss was clearly advanced because they knew she'd gently caress up by simply pushing what they actually believe. Let the public despise her for a bit, a dingbat fallguy so the next terrible person (Boris? lol) would appear competent by comparison. Everything about her is just self-evidently ludicrous.
