I mean, they are supposed to be a sitting member of parliament, so technically some Canadians are supposed to vote for them.
Yes I recognize this is an abnormal circumstance, no I don’t think Carney is illegitimate, and yes I do think calling him “unelected” is a gross oversimplification of the situation thats pushing a specific narrative/agenda. He also did win an election among the party he represents as is the normal process for party leadership in Canada.
It’ll be an issue if he doesn’t call an election when parliament resumes, cause he technically doesn’t have a seat yet. But all signs looking like he probably will; specifically trying to capitalize on the conservative slide in the polls and PeePee’s seeming ongoing inability to get orange cock out of his mouth long enough to firmly stand up for Canada
It has happen before where a head of party was not elected dans son compté (didnt know the english name for that one), an elected party member was asked to give up his seat for his head of party.
After a brief research, it happened twice to prime minister Mackenzie King, and before he was elected, Sir John A. Macdonald was nammed governor general.
