The RPC will limit individual power and influence by replacing the current one-person Prime Minister role with a rotating three-person leadership group, with each leader serving a maximum 1 year term as Prime Minister Pro Tempore (aka 'temporary PM') while the other two serve as Deputy Prime Ministers (aka 'shadow PMs').
With so many conflicting opinions on the best form of government, any government reform will surely be a contentious topic. Our position is that we must select the best currently known form of democratic government that achieves two main aims:
To create a body of democratically elected representatives which accurately and proportionally reflects the composition of the entire population of Canada in government policies and activities until such time as direct democracy is feasible.
To limit corruption and the amassing of influence of individuals by distributing power widely among more people, with expansive oversight and regulation.
We believe that strict limits on personal power and proportional representation in government are required components of every successful democracy - which is why we based our Constitution on those principles.
