Basically, we vote on the local level, the party with the most elected members ends up with it's leader as the prime minister. The prime minister also has to be elected in one of the ridings. It has not happened very often that the party that gets the most seats doesn't have it's leader elected as well (not sure the last time).
Effectively, we elect dictators. They have the most seats, the prime minister... all the power is on one side.
System is from Britain, and is similar to systems in most other commonwealth countries (including aus).
