Here, the party chooses their leader. They vote - not the public. If someone chooses to step aside then the deputy leader of that party becomes the leader. It's very simple. Very, very simple.

But each party is going to have multiple people wanting to run under it, so the parties decided that it would be better to back just ONE person and focus all their votes that way, rather than spread their votes out across three or four people. The primary elections are the way that the parties decide which candidate will be the one they back. The other candidates can still run, of course, but they won't have the backing of the party, and it would be a rare instance for those people to win. As many people know, we have a two-party system.

You have elections to elect the candidates who will be in the "real" election? Like, seriously? I am so glad I live in a country that was once a penal colony. For the first time in my life I realise the loveliness of a constitutional monarchy! Your friend not living in the States is still confused.
