Good. This whole “I’m running for Prime Minister” thing is as ridiculous as it is inaccurate. Singh, May, Carney, and Poillievre can’t “run for PM”, and acting like our political system mirrors that of the US perpetuates public ignorance about the parliamentary system.
As much as I agree that one doesn’t “run for Prime Minister,” and I wish everyone would stop using that phrasing…the party sure as shit should be running to form government.
