...and if Carney wins, he'll be PM but not an MP. The last time the PM was not a MP, it was John Turner. That was after Justin's father Pierre resigned. History is repeating.

The LPC lost badly under Turner in the next election - Cross your fingers.

The polls have clearly shown that Carney as the perceived front runner is crushing the conservatives lead

I don't know if they'll force a general election right away, but it would be wise for Carney to seek a mandate.

He doesn’t have a seat so I think an election will be called asap so he can get a seat.

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 hours ago

is a seat a requirement to be PM?

[-] CircaV@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

No not a requirement, he can be PM without a seat - but it’s very unusual. There will be a general election called soon. He’ll get a seat.

Any Senate appointments available right now? PM can rule from Senate.

[-] CircaV@lemmy.ca 2 points 17 hours ago

I think all senate appointments are full. My guess is there will be an election called March 10.
