This is the same reason why neither the LPC nor the CPC has any interest in electoral reform.

A system where they get to exchange who gets to be absolute ruler for four to eight years with about 35% of voters' unenthusiastic support suits them both just fine.

The last instance happened in August 2020, when Trudeau prorogued Parliament amid heat over the WE Charity controversy.

I'd forgotten about that.

I thought the whole point of the parliamentary system with the Prime Minister selected by the governing parties rather than through general election was about limiting the power held by one person. Shame on those who voted against this.
