No, I don’t believe you will, but you did refer to Corbyn and Sturgeon as deluded. They are unwaveringly passionate not deluded.
There are many many countries far more pleasant than ours at the moment but, at some point, you have to be a realist. We are where we are. Idealism doesn’t live here anymore.
This is 2019 (Great ?) Britain, and it’s a very fragmented, unstable, unpleasant place, where a good proportion (majority ?) of Joe Public don’t understand / care about politics, it’s all about populism, and they are not so much lurching as sprinting to the unpalatable right, lapping up propaganda being fed to thrm by an unchecked capitalist dominated government who seem to be able to do whatever they fucking want to.
The people always get what the people deserve.

Yes. And I’ve formed the opinion that it’s badly dated socialism dressed up but still blatantly ideologically driven and largely irrelevant to the audience that it presupposes it’s aimed at helping.
At the election itself it will get some sort of updating to the 80s in the form of the kind of annihilation that Michael Foot got.

At least now, you are as despondently realistic as the rest of us

I can’t see Johnson getting the kind of majority he needs to get his WAB passed. Hopefully we are into hung parliament/minority Govt/rainbow coalition time, but there is zero chance of a Labour win unless something monumental happens (either Johnson and/or Corbyn are struck by lightning possibly being Labour’s best hope for a win).

Best we can, realistically, hope for 
Don’t give up. Just accept that even people who probably want the same things as you may not agree on the methods of getting there.
The best argument for voting Labour I’ve heard is to stop this shower of stupid incompetent Tory cuntz fucking our country even further. Bit sad though isn’t it that that’s not exactly a resounding endorsement. You may not like it, but Corbyn is massively decisive even if you think he’s the Messiah (cue naughty boy gif).
Yes.
A PM must first be an MP

Nothing in the unwritten constitution says that a member of the government has to be either an MP or a member of the House of Lords (the Solicitor General for Scotland is neither but is a member of the government), and by extension nor does the Prime Minister. All s/he has to be is in a position to command a majority in the House of Commons otherwise s/he could not run an administration. Sir Alec Douglas-Home was Prime Minister whilst still Earl of Home and member of the House of Lords. He renounced his title and became plain Sir Alec Douglas-Home so that he could stand for election to the Commons as described above. He remained Prime Minster even though he had left the Lords and had not yet been elected to the Commons. The leader of any party in the position described by the questions would be expected to fight a very quick and easy by election.
