The Canadian ruling Liberal Party is electing a new leader on Sunday to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who said he was retiring after dissatisfaction with his performance in January. The result will be announced on Sunday evening at a party program.
Why is it necessary to have a race?
Unlike Australia and the United Kingdom, where the Prime Ministers are elected by the Assembly and can be removed soon, the heads of political parties in Canada are selected by members in special competitions.
Trudeau’s resignation automatically mobilized the leadership race. The new head of the Liberal Party will become the new Prime Minister.
Who are the main contenders?
Paul shows that the governor of the former Central Bank Former Finance Minister Christia Freeland is the commanding lead of Mark Carney, whose resignation gave rise to the crisis last December, which led to Trudeau retired. Former cabinet minister Kareena Gold is also running, but her chances are at least.
Who can vote?
People who have registered as liberals can vote. There is no fee to become a party member and are eligible for Canada and permanent residential membership. The party said on January 30 that it was around 400,000 people Sign up to vote. The population of Canada is about 41 41 million.
How will the result be calculated?
The competition will have a closed belt of voters in each of the 343 parliamentary constituencies, also known as the Rings. Each ride is allocated 100 points. They are distributed on the basis of the proportion of winning votes by the competitor in each ride.
This system means that a candidate has to get wider backing across the country, rather than collecting the largest supporters.
In each ride, voters give candidates priority. So if the candidate A got 60 % of the rider and the candidate B won 40 PCs, he would get 60 and 40 points respectively. This process has been repeated in all 343 riding and then national counts.
If a one who does not get more than 50pC on the first count on the first count, the minimum -pointing leadership is eliminated.
This is the place where the ranking belts play a key role. The Liberal Party will re -divide the other contenders to the end of the contestants, based on which voters have chosen their second option in each ride. This process continues unless one takes more than 50pc points.
How will the result be announced?
Liberals say they will unveil on March 9 at a gathering in Ottawa, which will announce the first round of voting at 6:30 pm.
When will the national election be?
Under Canada’s fixed election law, next national vote It must be till October 20 but can be very soon. The new Prime Minister may demand elections at any time after March 9.
Elections can also be mobilized at the end of March, when the government is expected to vote for a non -confidence vote in Parliament. If all the opposition parties vote against the liberals, the government will fall.
Police suggest that the liberals are practically tied to the opposition’s official conservatives, headed by Perry Pulore. Conservatives had two -digit lead for more than a year, but after Trudeau announced the announcement, the advantage ended, and US President Donald Trump threatened taxes on all imports from Canada.
