For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I think local communities should put forth candidates based solely on reputation. It's evident not a lot of skill or knowledge is needed to be a politician. Honesty and the actual desire to do good for others, instead of your own reputation and pocket is more critical i think, than being overly political aware.

oh you have noticed that 0.045% of the population / ellectorate are gonna elect the next PM
I did a few weeks ago ( notice)
not everyone can elect a leader of a party
well that is leader of the parliamentary party
age 10 we had - what is a PLP ( public leaning post ) and then you leant against the hapless pupil !
and someone pointed out the PLP was the Parliamentary Labour Party and we all went
errr Sir ! we know the Labour Party but what is the Parliamentary Labour Party
now we know t - - -- the parliamentary party elects the leader no nonsense about that and then the country is invited to confirm it
the current method dates only from 1963
before that it was the smoke filled rooms
and when Alec Douglas Home popped out
the people ( yup 1963) hollered: who asked US ?
no really
and it was changed

You noticed incorrectly, Peter. You're adrift by a factor of about 6. Conservative Party membership represents about 0.27% of the electorate. And as I often point out, the electorate does not elect a Prime Minister, either at a General Election or at any other time. He or she is chosen by the party best placed to command a majority in the Commons. So it is on this occasion.
