I thought the whole point of the parliamentary system with the Prime Minister selected by the governing parties rather than through general election was about limiting the power held by one person. Shame on those who voted against this.
The Liberals and Conservatives have been consolidating power in the Prime Ministers Office for two decades. I’d be surprised if any of them broke ranks to vote against their long-term interests.
