NEW CONSENSUS PARTY OF CANADA
 


Leader: Not stated on party web site.

Web Site: http://www.newconsensusparty.ca/

Platform: None provided on party web site (but see "The Party", below).

Candidates: None listed on party web site.

The Party: It is not clear whether the New Consensus Party is anything more than a single person with a web site. The party has no policies per se. Rather, it proposes a reform in the way government is selected. Currently, the Prime Minister is selected by the Governor General. By constitutional convention, the Governor General selects the leader of the party having the greatest number of seats. With the advise of the Prime Minister, the rest of the cabinet is then appointed. The Consensus proposes, instead, that:

"...in a free representative assembly, the prime minister/premier, the ministers, the speaker (facilitator) and the members of the standing committees of the House of Commons/House of Assembly would be chosen freely by the members of the House. This elected executive and the facilitator are then empowered but controlled by this free democratically elected legislative assembly."

The purpose for the restructuring?:

"This newly structured legislature will use the energy and intelligence of all the representatives who will become focused on what is right and good for all, without the present monstrous amount of energy, time and partisan rhetoric used by each political party in its struggle for the control of government."
