Do you think anybody would want to be the un-American state that decided the congressional model wasn't good enough for them?
My understanding is that British political parties can change leaders: by a vote of no confidence (which doesn't happen much anymore), or by the leader resigning when his position gets too rocky. I'm curious as to how a party can lose its majority not at an election, though -- is it because MPs abandon ship? Or are there minor elections in between the general ones, that can slowly change the party map?
