Comment on Ex-PM David Cameron appointed foreign secretary in Cabinet reshuffle

An unelected Prime Minister appointing an unelected Foreign Secretary, who is himself a disgraced former Prime Minister.
Couldn’t make it up.

Are Foreign Secretaries often elected? As far as I know the UK elects a party and not Prime Ministers.
It might seem stupid (and it probably is) but the party is elected and they elect their prime minister.
UK should have a reelection though considering how fucked up everything is.

Well yes. They are usually elected members of parliament. They don’t have to be of course, as is apparent.
