The same is true of the endless shower in England currently. I'm no Boris fan but I can at least say he had legitimacy - Truss and (especially) Sunak have presented themselves with an air of authority that they simply do not realistically have. IMO it's all actually part of why both he Tories and SNP have fallen so far recently. The public is quite clear on
not wanting this. Technically we elect a party and the party votes for the head of the party. Technically. "The People" do not see it that way and have made this abundantly clear; the public wants figurehead leaders that were in place when they ticked the box.
