Don't worry about it. And I reckon you're not worried 
That depends on what you think I’m not worried about.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but AFAIK a law was introduced a ‘few’ decades ago to enable the ‘five year lifetime’ of an ‘elected party’ to enable ‘that party’ to complete the ‘mandate’ that the ‘country elected “the party” to achieve’.
However, AFAIK the ‘bill’ has no ‘intrinsic provision’ for a ‘general election’ should the ‘ruling party’ ‘split’ into opposing factions and render itself ‘unstable’ and unable to achieve that ‘mandate’. I also believe that ‘the bill’ wasn’t intended to deal with a ‘governing party’, but was a means to select a ‘party leader’ and not a ‘prime minister’ (danger of/for ‘double indemnity’ here). Liz already admits that ‘the party’ (at least herself as the party’s second elected leader during the ‘party’s’ current ‘five year lifetime’) is unable to achieve that ‘electoral mandate’ (as was Boris).
What to do when an ‘elected party’ ‘splits’ during their ‘five year lifetime’?
Do ‘we’ (the people) submit our ‘voting preference’ to the ‘current “ruling party”’ for ‘the candidature of their leadership ’ (no we can’t, only ‘party members’ can), or insist on having ‘our voices’ heard again in a ‘general election’ (again no)?
Democracy is!
Demo-cracy! ‘Demo’, (from the ancient Greek ‘demos’) meaning ‘village’, or ‘people’ and ‘-cracy’ (again from the Greek) meaning ‘collective’, ‘formation of government’, or ‘rule makers’. ‘Demokratia’ is a ‘two way dialogue’ that supports both National, Regional and Local ‘dialogues/concerns’ for any existing ‘tort/concern’ (our UK Parliament affects all four nations of the UK and complicates all issues).
IMHO I doubt that this UK ‘electoral system’ fully measures up to a ‘democracy’.
Thus, we now seem to live in a society that is only ‘democratic’ for ‘a day’ every ‘fifth year’ (unless referenda are asked for by ‘the ruling government’, or a by-election is called for by governmental necessity), and ‘following the people’s choice’ (voting day) our society becomes ‘autocratic’ for the intervening period of ‘the “elected party’s” five year installation’.
So, is the UK ‘democratic’, or ‘autocratic’ to the ‘democratically “elected party”’?
Please advise, if possible (if you want to take this ‘elsewhere’, I’ll be happy to do so).
Kindest regards, Ray Dart (AKA suricat).
