punked Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Funny how it worked out just the way Jack wanted though, isn't it? What can I say he is a strong leader. Quote
RNG Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 No it isn't. All the parties use one member one vote. I honestly don't understand what you are saying. Harper is the choice of the CPC as a leader. What's his face is the choice of the governing coalition in the UK. How is this different?

In the UK, the Caucus can throw out the leader at any time and replace them. That very thing happened in Australia not that long ago. Quote

That very thing happened in Australia not that long ago. Theoretically, that can happen here too, Harper isn't elected as PM, he becomes PM because he is the guy that gets the most votes when parliament meets for the first time after an election. Or maybe it's the plurality of votes. Anyway, his caucus could kick his ass out any time. It's just the way our power structures have emerged, it won't happen, either here or in the UK.
