Last week, Liberal MP Ken McDonald walked back comments suggesting he would like to see the Liberal Party consider a leadership review of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
But even if a substantial number of Liberal MPs wanted such a review, there’s no formal way to make it happen — not while Trudeau is prime minister.
The Liberal Party doesn’t have a leadership review mechanism built into its constitution. It does allow for “leadership endorsement” ballots, which allow registered Liberals to vote on whether they still support the current leader.
