Just look at our own country for examples of this. The Liberal's convention system completely shuts out the average card-carrying member from having even a minor say in who's leader. It's all backroom brokering.

The Tories under the Alliance banner used to have a one-member one vote policy, but lost that when they merged with the PC party. Now it's kinda one member one vote, but it's provincially based, so if you live in a province with fewer conservative party members your vote is much more important in determining the leader.
