The Numbers: New Leader Draft!
Who will rise up the ranks of their parties in the next twelve months? Time for a new draft!
With the start of another summer, it’s time to think about new beginnings — for political parties!
This week, we’re doing something we haven’t done before. Every December, we draft the party leaders we think will be heading into the sunset. Now, in this first post-Canada Day episode, we’re drafting leaders who we say will be newly installed at the helm of their parties.
The rules are simple: we draft six people onto our teams who we think will (or could) be promoted to party leader between now and next Canada Day. We have a number of provincial leadership races to choose from, but our teams have to include at least one person who we say will win a leadership race that has yet to even be called.
Who will win the first edition of the New Leader Draft? Who has the better team of hopefuls, and who should we have added to our lists? Let us know!
