Thats an assumption (albeit a reasonable one), not casting a vote. Casting a vote means you cast a ballot in support of a candidate. The UK doesn't get to do that when it comes to the PM.
As leader of the conservatives and voting conservative with the conservatives gaining a majority I am,maybe not directly but as close as it gets.

That goes without saying but his padawan boris is trying to catch up
Have you ever voted for a Prime Minister?
Doctoring food with antibiotics and cleaning with bleach before selling it on is terrible. Is it because hygiene standards of producers are so bad i wonder?
Antibiotics are slowly becoming less effective because of over use, putting them into the food chain only serves to reduce their effectiveness more.
Yes by way of a party.
So no, then.
In your system (and mine) only the monarch (or for us, a GG acting in the monarch's stead) gets to choose the PM.
You did not vote for the leader, you voted for your local candidate.
Technically, PMs are chosen only by the monarch.
This choice is often obvious and non-controversial, but there have been times in history when the monarch chose someone other than the leader of the party with the most seats to be the PM.
And overall, even if we consider it "electing the PM" when the party leader who wins the most seats in a general election is appointed PM, British PMs are "unelected" more often than they're "elected:"
'Unelected' Prime Ministers: common or not?
Boris Johnson became Prime Minister on July 24, 2019. When did you vote "for him?"
You voted for the local candidate, not for buffoon boris

In reality they are chosen by their party as leader of the party and approved by the monarch as PM
I flew into Schipol airport from Canada last year. The passport control line was quite long.
On the positive side, they have an employee who brings people up to the front of the line if their connecting flight is about to leave, so I only had to wait 15 minutes.
I would argue that this was very much a pm election,it was extremely unlikely the queen would reject Boris and the people made an overwhelming choice to put him in office for obvious reasons.
And who was the local candidates boss?,it's funny calling Boris a "buffoon",what does that make labour,the lib Dems and greens?.
You did not vote for the boss, you did not vote for the party, you voted for the local candidate.
Buffoon Boris may have influenced your decision but you must certainly didn't vote for him, if makes no difference how hard you stomp your foot in an effort to save face, facts are facts.
The press calls boris a buffoon based on his ridiculous clownish antics. They call corbyn much worse
Whatever,I'm over it,it's party time now.
You are the one who made the statement, i am disappointed you were not enough to admit the error.
Have you heard about the childish white cliffs of Dover stunt for tonight. Says it all.
