I suppose that voters can't really eject the premier at the ballot box.
Voters in one riding out of 87 can eject the leader, but the leader can then run again in a different by-election.
Provincially though, the only option is to vote out the party. From a party's point of view it might be about self preservation to replace the leader before the population decides to. That way the party survives.
