What a waste of baseball bats.... Maybe Mcfarlane should have bought them. |

I saw that piece on FB. I think it’s someone copying the style of Sprang and Mooney.

Not wanting to get too political here, but let me just say, "Heaven help us! Talk about going from bad to worse!"  |

As a reminder, Proboards does have a zero tolerance policy for misinformation relating to Covid-19. I appreciate the robust conversation that was taking place, but it was necessary to remove it, unfortunately. Truly, I never expected that we would be a community that would have to worry about that policy. Alas.

I’m totally OK with sticking to discussion of funnybooks. Thats why I’m here anyway.
My last word on the matter is simply best wishes for a speedy recovery to @rags.

It’s probably a good thing I missed that. I could see a perma-ban coming out of it.

How does that system work? Since Canada works roughly like the U.K. in that regard, let me give it a shot: we never directly vote for the Prime Minister anyway; we only vote for Members of Parliament (M.P.s, the equivalent of House representatives in the U.S.). The queen then asks the leader of the party with the largest number of elected M.P.s to form the government. If the Prime Minister resigns, it doesn't invalidate the previous election; the party still gets to decide who is its leader (and, by default, the new Prime Minister). That's how Canada got a few P.M.s who had been elected as M.P.s, but not as potential Primer Ministers: in recent memory, John Turner, Kim Campbell and Paul Martin all became P.M. by default when their predecessor resigned. |

How does that system work? In the US side, it's the same reason the people don't vote for the Speaker of the House. Selecting the Speaker is a procedural matter controlled by the majority party. PM is similar to that in principle, except the PM has a lot more power/prestige/responsibility than the Speaker does in the US. -M |

Tory party members did the vote, as it was an internal matter and not a general election.
My preferred choice was always the underdog.
