Parliamentary Party Leaders to be appointed by party Members of Parliament
Parliamentary Party Leaderhip to be selected by MPs not the membership of a Political Party - this disadvantages non members who vote for a political party.
Excluding MPs from electing Party Leadership might lead to a Prime Minister representing less than 1% of those who voted at the ballot box.
Prime Ministers must reflect the outcomes of the ballot box and not be subject to a process of selecting Party Leadership that can be abused and manipulated - the electorate choose their respective MPs to reflect the will of the people not minority paid up members of whatever party. The electorate must trust a system that will produce a Prime Minister truly representing the voting outcomes of the ballot box
