I was under the impression we elected MPs, those MPs were part of a party, and the party with the majority was asked by the monarchy to form a government, so why do people think that Gordon Brown should be any different?

Canada is much the same as your parliament. We elect our Mp's and then the leader of the party who obtains the most seats is the new prime minister.

Prime Ministers are never elected by the people. They are chosen by their party from among the Members of Parliament
In the 1950s the Conservatives chose a Prime Minister who was not even a member of the House of Commons and had never stood for any sort of election. His name was Alec Douglas-Hume.

because when you elected your mp you knew who the party leader was and made your decision with that fact in mind....gordon brown was just thrown in that position without your consent and maybe even opposed or advocated by your mp...the next election you will be able to choose the mp with the better leader.
