Is it true that in the UK the top job is given to the one chosen by a only a part of the parliament, and a small fraction of inhabitants? You call that democracy at work?
As things stand the EU could teach you the meaning of the word democracy.
Now you're just being silly! It is well known that Boris is only in the job until a General Election when we will all have our chance to have our say. As with Maybot, the same applied. hence she was able to be kicked out.

Unlike your President of the EU. Onwards to the throne unapposed, unelected, unrepresented, unwanted!

If it happens, it happens. Bring them home if necessary.
Britain signed a military cooperation agreement with Germany on Friday (5 October), emphasising London’s commitment to helping shield Europe from future security threats at a time when negotiations over its own exit from the EU are reaching a crunch time.

“Although we are preparing to leave the EU, our commitment to European security is resolute,” British Defence Minister Gavin Williamson said upon signing a ‘Joint Vision Statement’*with his German counterpart Ursula von der Leyen at a British army barracks in the western German town of Sennelager.

“The statement signed today strengthens UK-German ties and bolsters the defence of two key NATO partners. This is an alliance we both hold dear,” Williamson added during his visit to Minden, Germany, where British troops are stationed.

British troops to stay in Germany

The agreement comes only a week after Williamson confirmed in a statement that British forces stationed in Germany will remain in the country after Britain’s exit: “We are increasing our British points of presence across the world. We will not be closing our facilities in Germany, and instead, use them to forward base the Army.”

EU Defence: the realisation of Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) ... The*UK*did not sign the Joint Notification and will, therefore, remain outside of*PESCO.*In*doing so, the*UK*will*have*no decision making rights over its governance or veto over its future strategic direction.Dec 18, 2
