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.

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the person who is invited to form a government by The Queen, normally the leader of the party with the most seats in Parliament following a General Election.

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.
