Yes, indeed. Definitely would've resulted in better results in that election.

Ohhh, you meant *both* terms as referring to American politics. That was rather confusing, considering that the UK actually *has* a Speaker of the House, and he/she is very much not the President.

So what you say isn't really accurate - the British PM dominates parliament in the sense that his/her party controls it and he/she controls his party (or at least one would hope he/she does), but isn't the head of it in any formal sense. Still, I see your point that it's very different from American politics where the only one in the government (or administration, anyway) who is elected is the president himself, and that in a completely separate election.
