Hey libs, you're pooling so poorly you might become a fourth place party after this election.
Why not preemptively coalition with the NDP in support of PM Singh.
I don't know what the NDP haven't introduced an electoral reform bill
It shouldn't be this difficult to change party leaders. The party works best as a team, if most of the party wants a new leader, they should work amongst themselves to elect a new leader for the betterment of the party.

Apparently the Liberal party constitution doesn't allow for that. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Don't they know how the Liberal party works? The donors and backroom operators get to choose the leader, not the rank and file peasants.
eeeeeeh. To my knowledge, the leader is chosen in a public but anonymous ballot. Donors can popularize/support a candidate with the usual backroom shenanigans, but the party members (maybe delegates?) make the actual selection. I think those two usually line up, but it would be hyperbolic to say the leader isn't elected by the party members.
Either that or enough MPs can just leave the party that they lose power.
The Liberals are screwed if they go into the next election with Trudeau as leader, but there's no time for any real recovery under a new leader before the election. May as well let Trudeau eat the loss and let a new leader start clean after the election.
This makes sense. Trudeau is known, and people will notice when he's replaced after the election. If they switch to a figurehead now, nobody will care when they are replaced post-election.
There are options. It's a big country. It contains thousands of people who would be capable of doing the job of leading the party, and the country. We do not know their names. As is usual in politics, the people most capable of doing the job are not the people capable of getting the job.
