本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛以前只晓得MP是民选的, 党领无权撤换，至于驱逐出党团 caucus，想当然地以为是党内事务，按党的规矩办就是了。星报关于自由党开除WRJ的疑问报道，起初看到也没留意，现在根据报道搜了一下，才知道原来这一程序也是rule of law----《加拿大议会法》, 看来对加拿大民主制度要学习的还很多。
简单地说，该法第49条说程序规定该党议员要投票四次，并且这四次投票要求被记录下来，如同议院其它投票。链接和法律相关内容附后。那么自由党这次遵循了程序吗？发言人说是的但不告诉你，因为是党的机密。但是自由党资深议员John McKay却在第一次核心会议投票后对记者表示记录投票从来没搞，理由是没必要全体成员有共识。这就引发了疑问。
这项法规对被驱逐者的有何用？因为该条款同时为开除成员设定了高门槛，目前自由党核心小组有179名成员，那么依该法则首先必须有至少36名自由党MP书面致信要求驱逐，其次在无记名投票中，赞成驱逐的票数必须不低于90。有记录的投票就为被开除者提供了程序公正的权益。
我理解之所以驱逐这事用国法而非党纪来规管，是因为实际制度中党派核心团队更接近权力核心，远非独立议员可比。如果WRJ被驱逐出党团的过程确有疑点，那么问题来了，这种党内的操作，补丁是很容易打的，难有实锤。即便有铁证，惩戒的办法是啥也不明，难不成写份儿检讨？而且启动了开除的投票，已经表明成员之间不能共事了，就算找回了程序正义，走人也是结局，不同的是你炒老板还是老板炒你
