How should Political Party leaders be elected?

Get together everyone who is qualified to be a leader, and pick the one who wants to be leader least.... because he's probably the one that cares the most, rather then just wanting to get off by being the boss of people.

A good leader is one who hates being a leader yet still gets chosen for it.

Augustus Caesar, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln. All ambitious men, all great leaders.

 

Personally I think it should be up to the party. If the party wants them elected by their members (which the US system is a version of) then that's fine. If the party wants to elect them entirely internally that is also fine.

I actually think that is currently the system in both Canada and the US, but the political parties in the two countries have decided to choose them in their own ways. I could very well be wrong though.

Ehhhh.... I'd look deeper into the history of Caesar and Lincoln if i were you.

Lincoln for example suspended habius corpus and arrested anyone he felt like arresting, and shut down any press that he deemed unfavorable... generally ignoring the surpeme court ruling that said he couldn't do any of this.

His plan after freeing the slaves was to send them all back to Africa... and he only freed them as a political stunt in the first place.
