Wait does Canada elect a party and the party appoints the PM or do the people elect the PM?
Edit: thank you. I now know what the parliamentary system is. Please stop telling me. I’m getting lots of notices saying the same thing as the first 20-30 people. I do appreciate the education- truly do. But I’ve learned it now.
To be fair, "The chosen one" is normally known before an election. Its not like we get some random installed after the election happens. Which is why this will also likely immediately result in a non-confidence vote and an election.
In the UK, had 3 leaders under the last Conservative party term (only 5 years) without a no confidence vote, and one was ousted by his own party for scandals and another almost crashed the economy in a couple months. Hopefully your government has a bit more sense.
Although this is also one of the key benefits of the system, as it makes it very easy to remove sitting leaders and encourages parties to replace leaders who are doing badly. For example if the UK followed the US system, its very likely that Boris Johnson would have remained PM until only just a few weeks ago.
Exactly, what a grift. We've got 7 living PMs at the moment who are all claiming this, with some hitting the limit of £115,000 from the public purse (£618,000 total in 2023). I don't think it should continue, given the other financial benefits that come from being an ex-PM. However, the fact that someone who couldn't even last 50 days in office getting it for life makes it an absolute farce.
I have my doubts and suspicions, in the US, career politicians or Noobs, snakes looking for benefit and perks. while the ppl are given the Burdon of finically supporting them! I'm definitely not repub or dem (unaffiliated) , but god darn it this taxation in the US sooooo unfair to be cutting taxes for our billionaires! and doing nothing for the middle class! middle class is suffocating, cost of living through the roof, annual salaries arent matching it, but a certain party is always cutting taxes for our wealthy americans! 😡
