Political analyst Lori Turnbull says calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down as leader are unlikely to succeed as the Liberal Party removed the option for a leadership change through a majority vote. She suggests that the resignation requests are a 'death by a thousand cuts' approach ahead of the upcoming federal election. Turnbull notes that the absence of a clear successor for Trudeau currently limits pressure, but this could change if potential leadership challengers emerge.
As calls mount within the federal Liberal Party for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down as leader, one political analyst says there’s little his detractors can do to force his hand.
Turnbull added that the current lack of an heir-apparent for party leader removes some of the pressure on Trudeau, but that could change once leadership challengers emerge who caucus members could potentially rally around. "If he decides he wants to give the reins to somebody else, it will probably by way of proroguing Parliament, so that the Liberals could have this process without being at risk of losing government in the House of Commons. And then, once that happens, you know that an election would be shortly after that, I would think.
