Hopefully, a political party is always going to have principles that it stands behind. The party is about something, probably a collection of things. So, yes, it doesn't make much sense if you have a political party, say, to go with your example, committed to official bilingualism, and then the party nominates somebody in a riding who's against official bilingualism. What does the party do with that person? Why does the person even want to run with this party?
So you have that tension. There's always going to be this tension with the leadership, who I think very understandably, to be honest, wants to have some say in who the representatives of the party are in each riding. To me that makes sense from a leadership perspective, but we also need at the same time to have something going on at the grassroots level or else people lose interest in what's going on in parties at all. I think part of the problem here is that if people in the constituencies can't select their candidate, what else do they do? There's a little bit of a disconnect in terms of how regular people, ordinary people in their ridings, attach to parties.
