You don’t elect a Prime Minister in the UK, you elect a parliament

I think they do? The UK's electoral system is far from ideal, but it's at least very straightforward. No-one outside of Boris Johnson's constituency saw the name 'Boris Johnson' on their ballot paper, so you'd hope it would be clear to averagely intelligent people that they weren't voting directly for him.
