Yes.
Angela Merkel is the chancellor of Germany and was voted for just like in Britain. The difference is that in Britain, the party with the most votes takes all while in Germany the partys get proportional power based on the number of votes they receive. This system of proportional representation is used in many countries such as Belgium and Israel.
The British government system is a bit more complex than that because of the House of Commons seats system but if you want to lose an entire afternoon then enjoy the detailed delights of Wikipedia*.
