Power and party discipline in Canadian politics
Canadians vote to send MPs to Ottawa but party whipped votes mean MPs primarily serve the party. The piece notes Trudeau expelled two dissenting Liberal MPs over the SNC Lavalin affair and argues that looser discipline could boost accountability, leadership development, and responsive policy. It contrasts Canada with Australia and the UK and suggests less top down governance could improve debate and voter trust.
