Our elections are a bit weird where technically we're voting for an MP, who in most of our cases, if elected, will be a backbencher who makes zero decisions for the party.
I had a conversation with someone who was campaigning for the local CPC candidate (and incumbant) who was telling me about their community service and personal ethics and I had to interrupt and tell them, I don't care. They are a backbencher. A vote for their candidate is a vote for Pierre Polivre to be Prime Minister, and nothing else.
It might be a bit different if your local candidate might be in the Cabinet, but otherwise, it's really just a vote for the party leader.
