> Xi Jin Ping is as unelected as the British Prime Minister
The British PM was elected, what on earth are you talking about? He won an election to his seat in Parliament just a few weeks ago.

British law doesn't even require the Prime Minister to be an MP, technically Parliament could elect any random bozo from the street to be PM.
But that’s not necessary or expected under the British system, being an MP and Party Leader is enough. If Burnham radically departed from Labour’s manifesto you could then argue he call a general election to establish legitimacy for that, but it isn’t required.
