It’s certainly nice to see things swing back, but be wary, the attack ads and rhetoric from the right haven’t really ramped up yet, and probably won’t until the official leader is chosen. I’m certainly enjoying the good news for now though.
Why are they acting like Mark Carney is the party leader already?
Because the polling looks best for him, most likely.
Yeah but he has to get an mp spot somewhere i thought.
Nope, there’s no requirement that the PM be a member of the house, and it’s happened before. However, there are some limitations if a PM is not an MP.
Apparently it’s happened before and you don’t have to - you just can’t sit in the chamber until you get a seat if I understand correctly.
Thanks for this post. I haven’t read the Walrus in a while, i will be coming for more.
