I could vote for the corpse of Vladimir Lenin but if the rest of my jurisdiction all votes blue, what does it matter?

I didn't vote him in as CPC leader and yet there he sits. How can one be assigned blame for that?

Thats just not how the Electoral Process works. There was a guy one time, not too long ago who promised to fix this. Hows that working out?
That's a cop out unless you know nothing about how parliament works. Power is hugely centralized in the PMO/Privy Council, and backbenchers have almost zero say, so voting for a party member = voting for their leader. Most people couldn't name their member.
