The 'Vote Saxon' thing also confuses me... greatly. Not so much that is says 'Vote Saxon' because even if you don't vote for the Prime Minister directly, they do campaign a lot and your vote is influenced by them.
The basic system is that you vote for your MP (Member of Parliment, like a congresman), and the party with the overal majority forms the government, and the head of that party is the Prime Minister. You don't vote for HIM, you vote for the party, as it were. Which is how Tony Blair can stand down and no public election is needed - just one within our party (well, for deputy anyway, there weren't enough MP nominations for anyone other than Gordon Brown for leader so he got it, there are several candidates for Deputy though - Go Alan!).
ANY WAY. Given this, for Saxon to become PM, he'd need to be the head of a party. Whils an indipendant can become an MP, he can't become PM. Unless they've some how changed the lawas DRASTICALLY. Doing so would basically create the elected PM something similar to head of state, which you can't with out making the Queen not head of state.
It's all rather confusing how Saxon would become PM, basically. And makes no sense at all from what we currently know.

It's just very, very ODD.
