How Do Political Parties Choose Their Leaders?

from Auspol Explained · host David Cox

It's time for parties to choose new leaders! Especially because some of them got voted out of Parliament. So how does that process work? Well, here's a brief overview of how there isn't a one-size fits all approach to party leadership rules in Australia but there is a general vibe to how it works. In this I'll cover how Labor, Liberals, Greens and Nationals decide who their leader should be as well as how the rules for leadership challenges have changed to make them less frequent.Support the channel on patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AuspolExplainedFollow me on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/auspolexplained.bsky.social Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auspolexplained/ Like Auspol Explained on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Auspol-Explained-107892180702388Auspol Explained would like to acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people and their Elders as the owners and custodians of the Land that the episode was recorded and edited on.
