It’s very ironic that his support is falling apart at home while his worldwide support is exploding.

  I understand what you mean, but at this point I don't find it ironic at all. It's been quite similar in my corner of the world, where a leader enjoys great support and visibility externally, but is fairly unpopular internally.

    Are you talking about Macron?
    • Degorath 9mo ago
      No, but it is a European leader that has ~recently enjoyed that situation, but is no longer in it. Sorry, but I don't want to spell it out too obviously, for my own privacy.

  Why is he losing support in Canada
• Rendello 9mo ago
  Carney's support is strong in Canada: Mar - Wins Liberal leadership and thus prime ministership. Calls election. Apr - Liberals easily win election, Carney keeps prime ministership. Nov - PM's budget passes. A Conservative crosses floor to Liberals. Dec - Second Conservative crosses floor to Liberals. The budget being being rejected would've meant another election; the opposition would've rejected it if they were confident they'd win. The two defections means that the liberals are now one member away from a majority. In fact, there was rumoured to be a third defector from the opposition, but he decided to quit politics entirely, presumably after being whipped by the whip.
