Yes because in a parliamentary system nobody is voting for the actual party leader apart from his (or her) own constituents. You vote for your local MP and then whoever has the most MPs is the ruling party. The party then votes for their leader and that leader is the PM. Things are taking a much more presidential path these days (many would say not for the good) and these debates are reflecting that.
