Britain is about to have its seventh prime minister in 10 years.
Since David Cameron resigned after the 2016 referendum, Britain has cycled through Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer, and soon another prime minister. Yet British voters directly elected only three governments during that period. Most of the turnover occurred inside Westminster as governing parties replaced their own leaders.
That distinction matters.
