Might it not be better to want what’s best for the country?
The part of the political spectrum that likes to paint itself as ‘patriotic’ is anything but most of the time.
The thing is British PMs dont have the singular power that the modern media and the public think. Yes, there’s undue scrutiny of PMs and ‘we’ like to paint a picture of an individual PM but our political system is actually NOT presidential, so the constant focus on a PM is quite ‘misleading’.
I quite agree that there is too much focus on individuals. The chummy language of the media referring to politicians that started with ‘Boris’ didn’t help. All brought to you by the same people who like to tell you that Parliament is sovereign then forget all about it.
