Designed and stability are probably too strong words to use for a system that gave its people Boris Johnson and a cabbage.
But yes, only one round of "first past the post" is very simple, hard to go lower or commoner than that. :)
And it has a lot of added efficiency because there's no need to separately pick a figurehead - there's always one helpfully marked with a crown. (Of course the fact that changing the PM and the full cabinet can be done at any time without involving the electorate can help stability. But of course it also keeps inefficient coalitions going far too long, meaning eventually there will be a bigger correction event, which is bad for long-term stability.)
Yes, exactly. But "somehow" increasingly crazier groups got into power within the party (hence Brexit) and now it the consequences finally (?) catching up (hence the flip to Labour).
