Who is "us"?
- karmasimida 2y agoYeah that is a good question to OP The predicted conservative win if the election happens right away, would be a landslide in every sense of that word
- mardifoufs 2y agoWould it be possible for it to not happen right away? They are in a minority government without a PM, I really wonder if there's a way the elections aren't triggered basically instantly.
- warmlander99 2y agoWith Trudeau leaving, I suspect that at least one of the other parties will give them enough time to elect a new leader before bringing down the government. The government may even last until the required election date of late October however, nothing of any importance will likely be passed in that time
- brailsafe 2y agoHe stays on until late march, they need to select a new party leader and then an elections held
- warmlander99 2y agoUnfortunately, the liberal party rules say they require a minimum of four months to elect a new leader. They may be able to fast track it in three months, but it’s entirely up to the liberal party so I suspect Trudeau will still be leader when Parliament resumes.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoThey will ask the Governor General for a prorogation during the leader selection process so Parliament will not be resuming any time soon.
- tensor 2y agoNo, it would be a landslide only in one sense, the first past the post sense. Not in any other sense. The majority of individuals would still not want the cons in power, but with FPTP the left vote gets split.
