Of the people who voted there was a majority. Of the people who didn't, or more likely couldn't be bothered to vote, they were by definition happy to allow the rest of the country to decide on their behalf. Therefore a majority of the country did vote for the government.

However, this translated to a clear majority of seats under FPTP.
Well he completed the Conservative leadership process and won after the membership voted, which is at least a little more complete than everyone else withdrawing before the membership gets a vote.

When we voted in the last two elections we knew that if the Conservatives got in then David Cameron would become PM and so if we did not think he was suitable for the job we could decide not to vote for the Conservatives. Therefore, he was elected by us indirectly.

So there should be a GE every time we need a new PM?

Good riddance to that woman and May is the right one to lead us forward.
It's like leavers have conveniently forgotten that they get to vote in the MEPs that make EU law.
