If I may, Mr. Chair, I'll respond initially, and then I'll encourage my colleague Weldon to respond as well.
I think what you have seen with the step-down is really a strong signal of democracy and a tone of leadership, whereby a party leader has seen a party not do well in elections and takes accountability. That is something that I think all democracies should take note of and take pride in going forward.
It was a local election. It wasn't a national election. I think voters in a local environment are looking for different things at the local level than the national one.
I'll turn to Weldon.
