    Jeet Heer Retweeted Polling Canada

    Canadians don't vote for their Prime Minister, but rather for their local member of parliament. Still, I'm told that the popularity of leaders influences elections. So it's interesting that Jagmeet Singh is the most popular national leader in Canada.https://twitter.com/CanadianPolling/status/1185189310405984257 …

        That’s not atypical of the NDP though. Past leaders like Jack Layton have tended to be personally very popular. Hasn’t always translated into actual seats on E-day.

        Seeing as party discipline in Canada is strong enough that your average government MP could be replaced with a trained sea lion to bark and clap in Parliament whenever the PM speaks, I'd say way too many people think they are voting for the candidate in their riding.

        I would love to hear @NateSilver538's thoughts on this. I feel like he'd accidentally mention how poorly this reflects on Bernie that he's not even in the top 4.

        The Prime Minister's Office has essentially executive power at this point so yes, our federal elections have become more similar to a Presidential vote or a party vote rather than a focus on local MPs.

        the French will *never* vote for a colored guy. A guy in a Truban? he won't win a seat in Quebec.
