How can the prime minister of Canada be removed?

If an election comes and his party loses. I'm pretty sure that's how it would happen.AnswerThe Prime Minister can be dismissed by the Governor General at any time (though one will usually resign before this happens). Usually this will only happen when the Prime Minister loses the confidence of the House of Commons.Normally, the Prime Minister can first ask for a general election instead of resigning, in order to try his chances at a fresh mandate. This request can, however, be refused if the Governor General feels that holding an election would be an abuse of Parliament or of the electorate, though this has only happened once. A Prime Minister will normally resign if he does not feel that a newly elected house will support him, rather than attempting to pass a budget.A Prime Minister can also lose the support of his party, in which case, he will be replaced as leader of the party, and the new leader will be appointed as Prime Minister.


What happens when the prime minister of Canada loses the majority of parliament?

It is not unusual for governments to lose their majorities mid-term. Labour lost it's majority in 1977 and had the support of the Liberals to continue. John Major lost his majority in 1995 and conitnued unitl 1997. The Prime Minister would remain Prime Minister for as long as s/he had the confidence of the Commons. For instance a Conservative government could rely on the Ulster Unionists to pass bills, a Labour government could rely on the support of the SDLP. If the government loses a vote of no confidence, then there would be a general elecetion.

Who chooses the prime minister Canada?

No. We vote for a member of parliament for a seat in the cabinet. The Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth the II, Canadian head of state then choses the Prime-Minister based on who she thinks will keep confidence. The Confidence Vote, is a vote members in parliament make to show their confidence in our Prime-Minister. He needs the majority of the parliament to vote yes to their confidence which is 155 seats. This is usually why the Queen choses the Prime-Minister that leads a party that has won the most seats. They are most likely to keep the vote of confidence. We are using our democratic right by voting for a member of cabinet to put in a vote of confidence or motion of non-confidence for us. But we do not vote for our Prime-Minister. For more information please consult the British North American Act of 1867.


What happens if the Canadian prime minister loses his seat in an election?

It is possible that a Prime Minister could win the general election (i.e., win the most seats) but lose in his/her own riding.In that case, the Prime Minister would likely prevail upon a government backbencher in a so-called "safe seat" to resign, and the Prime Minister would run in the subsequent by-election. The Prime Minister would remain as Prime Minister during this procedure.The Prime Minister could also interpret the result as the electorate signifying satisfaction with his/her party, but dissatisfaction with him/herself personally. In such a case, the Prime Minister might resign and the Governor General would then ask another government member to form a government. Given the ego of your typical Prime Minister, that scenario is not likely to develop unless the Prime Minister also loses the by-election in the safe seat.
