And the Leader is elected by the members of the parties
is it like the uk where they are the head of the party?
so the pm is basically the head of parliament
Not always.
well not in a minority government, right?
As a Minority government can subvert his agenda and call non-confidence to give him the boot.
the pm represents the crown to the people generally speaking
The other parties can form a coalition and then call an election.
But yeah, the PM is the head of the party with the most seats.
And he can appoint people to offices.
so it is practically the same as the uk
As a majority he is defacto leader.
Our system is based on British Parliament.
Yes.
But the Queen holds more power here than there.
We have the Commons and the Senate.
The Senate is full of people appointed by PMs.
From the Commons.
And they never change until one resigns or dies.
gay
so my point is that the pm represents the crown in the lives of the citizens. but the pm is chosen through the democratic process. so the authority of the crown is democratically governed
Yes.
That's about right.
that is a problem
BUT
The Governor General is chosen by the Queen.
And has all the authority of the Queen in their country.
who is the governor general?
The Queen when the Queen isn't there.
They are the "Crown" chosen by the crown.
K, that is good
PM is the people's representative of the crown, Governor General is the Queen's.
reduce the power of governance of the pm and give it to the governor general
The Governor General is generally bribed into complacency, and rarely ever exercises power.
So long as they keep quiet they get a lot of benefits.
A fully staffed house, 7 acres of gardens
The RCMP at their Beck and call.
Armed guards at all your doors.
PM should operate like the us house majority leader
If you go against the PM the PM will try to limit the powers by calling a referendum.
