Liberal Leadership

It’s to bad Marc Garneau dropped out of the Liberal leadership race. He was one of three candidates I was considering being my first choice on the ballot. Under Federalist Party rules all candidates in a leadership race have a 4-year term on the Federal council. The runner up becomes deputy leader with an 8-year term on the Federal council. Without multiplicity there is no democracy. It should be built right into a political party’s rules to encourage multiple candidates for any elected office. In the Federalist Party if you run and become one of the 6 candidates on the ballot at least you get the consolation prize of membership on the Federal council and if you’re the runner up your #2 in the leadership.
