My point, that I believe was quite clear, is that if Carney wins the Liberal leadership race he will be PM without having to have been elected running for the party as an MP. Which is wrong regardless of how the voting system is “supposed” to work.
But he would be elected. He would be elected by the people elected to be your chosen representative within the party. When you elect your local MP you give them the power to choose the leader of the party. If you don’t think they will be capable to make that choice for you don’t vote for them.
The only people voting for the next PM are members of the Liberal party of Canada. Which includes the MP’s, Citizens, and permanent residents registered with the party.
My local MP is not Liberal, and therefore doesn’t get a vote. I am not a Liberal, and therefore I don’t get a vote. If I had one, it wouldn’t be going to a Liberal.
But I don’t get to vote on the next PM because the next PM’s platform isn’t being tested against the other parties platforms in an election.
My point is if the PM steps down it should trigger an immediate election. The Prime Minister should not be chosen by a fraction of Canadians under any circumstance.
I would not be getting any resistance to this complaint, and minds would be lost, if Pierre Poilievre were PM and stepped down only to have Galen Weston jr. win the Conservative Leadership race and become PM.
Sounds like proportional representation would be what you’re looking for which Trudeau decided against and most conservative politicians would never even consider.
Sounds like you haven’t read a thing I said because this isn’t a problem with FPTP, this is a problem regardless of which system we use to choose MP’s.
Feel free to make a point addressing what I said without the upturned nose.
