"However, Mr. Martin's victory was weakened by low turnout. Party officials said only about 52,000 Liberals (10 per cent of the membership) voted for the new leader. The Canadian Alliance estimated that with his $9.1-million in leadership campaign donations, each vote cost him $175." - article in today's globethis is such a ridiculous way to elect

Er...

Not any more undemocratic than the way the system is now. I don't recall casting my vote of Jean Chretien.

They are just electing the party leader, same way they always do. The only difference between now and any other time is that the current party leader is stepping down before his term of office is complete.

that's what I am objecting to. I don't like the fact that the PM is by default, just the guy who is the head of the party.
