I don't care what wrong-headed ideas Canadians have about our electoral system. We don't vote for the prime minister, period. Consideration or not, that isn't how our system works. In fact, the PM could step down as leader of the party and someone else takes their place....completely unelected, as was the case with Kim Campbell or Ernie Eaves (as Premier of Ontario). The only individual we elect are our parliamentarians and MLAs or MPPs.

I would add that over the years the vast majority of votes I have cast federally have in fact NOT been with the party leader in mind, nor even for whom I wanted as PM.

For all the talk about how hated Hillary is, she still received more votes than anyone ever except for Barack Obama in 2008.
