Ryan is not from the US and I’m not sure how his party system works
To put it as simply as I can… In a UK General Election. We just vote for our local MP. The Party with the most MPs wins and must form a government*. We don’t directly vote for the Prime-Minister.
Which is why I used the word “Party” in my example. I think we all understand what I was saying.
(* Technically, the two (or more) biggest losing parties could also form a coalition government, if the winning party’s victory was so feeble that they were unable to form one)
