minus-square@60d@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish6•3 months agoI don’t know if they’ll force a general election right away, but it would be wise for Carney to seek a mandate.
minus-square@CircaV@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish4•3 months agoHe doesn’t have a seat so I think an election will be called asap so he can get a seat.
minus-square@CircaV@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish3•3 months agoNo not a requirement, he can be PM without a seat - but it’s very unusual. There will be a general election called soon. He’ll get a seat.
