"Gerald Ford"

edit: At length: Brown was voted into Parliament, same as Blair. Blair was voted head of the Labour party bu the Labour party, same as Brown will likely be. Labour is the majority governing party, and the head of the majority governing party in Parliament is traditionally bearer of the title Prime Minister (ignoring the de facto formalities of Royal Assent).

What will happen in a year is perfectly legitimate, entirely in the spirit of the Parliamentary system, and has happened a number of times before. You've had vice presidents installed as President before - and that's a wholly unelected individual replacing a wholly elected one.
