    Oh that’s right! Not elected. OK that must really suck. So who elects the PM in jaypan if its not the people? A Parliament? Do the people have a choice somewhere at the bottom of the scheme at all? You know like us and our wonderful electoral college that gave us the guy who keeps on giving!.. Err…taking, our rights away.

      The biggest party in the parliament, or a coalition, pick the prime minister. I’m pretty sure this one was from a coalition, and she was the leader of her party, and her party was the bigger of the coalition. Members of parliament do get elected into it by the people, who vote for a person and/or for a list. They didn’t pick her to be leader of the party, but they voted for the people in the party that she recently became leader of.
