after the MPs are determined by FPTP for each constituency, then does not Parliament need to meet to vote for the PM? is a majority of MPs required, or does plurality suffice? if the former and no single party has a majority, won't there be a whole shitload of negotiation between the 3 major parties to form a majority? especially with this election so up in the air (at least that's how it reported on this side of the pond), how possibly can the new PM be moving into 10 Downing Street tomorrow morning?
