Trudeau Popularity - or not (various polling, etc.)

Are these Liberals going to hold their leadership election before the budget vote or is this just another waste of time?

You mean where Trudeau accidentally ends up running again?

I'd love to see a current Team Red MP become interim PM and then promptly lose their seat in the next election and force the Libs to have yet another costly leadership campaign.

Unless they have a backbencher in a safe seat resign and have him run in the by-election.

It would still be up to the Government to determine the timing of said by-election. Squeeze a few more drops of schadenfreude out of the situation.

His dad lost, resigned, un-resigned, then won.

He hasn't lost yet.
