She could certainly be the PM. Not gonna happen, but nothing other than practical likelihood stands in the way.
The GG does not (and should not) kowtow to the leader of the party who wins the most seats. The GG doesn't owe that person anything. Popular vote or no popular vote doesn't make a difference. You either have the confidence of the House or you don't.
