This isn't so important though. Canada UK are the same. You don't technically elect a Prime Minister.
But - the party, platforms, PM etc are very transparent, and elections are held on that basis.
If the Conservative Party of the UK ran with B. Johnson and Brexit, but then after the election decided to make some randome guy from Scotland - that nobody ever heard of - the Prime Minister, and said Scot made a 'Throne Speech' with some completely different agenda ...
...there would be a revoluion.
And of course PM has to be someone elected at their riding for good reason.
It's simply not good enough to say 'someone voted somewhere' so therefore 'it's democracy and we can do what we want'.
