I happen to agree we should have an election, but I would point out:

1) Unlike EU commissioners, people can vote Theresa May out at the next general election. 2) The UK has a parliamentary democracy. It is not a presidential system. Theresa May was elected by her constituents. 3) Of the 14 prime ministers since the end of the Second World War, half of them (including Theresa May) assumed office between elections.

Of the 7 that did, only 3 were re-elected. Maybe because they were unelectable in the first place :-)
