Who is responsible for electing the Prime Minister of England

There has never been a Prime Minister of England.

England is a part of, but not the same as, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Because there are more than two main parties in the British Parliament this is not always easy - for example following the General Election in 2010 neither The Conservative Party nor the Labour Party had an overall majority of seats and the decision to appoint David Cameron as Prime Minister came after he had reached an agreement to form a coalition government with The Liberal Democrat Party.
