Liberals  still trying to figure out primary-style election of new leader

This article is about the Liberal Party not asking its supporters to pay a fee to vote for a new leader. The next leader will, instead, be chosen by a process that bears at least a passing resemblance to the American primary system. The leadership race formally got under way Wednesday, when the national executive set the ground rules for candidates and announced the dates for the leaders’ debates. As approved at a party conference earlier this year, supporters are not required to be fee-paying, card-carrying members of the Liberal Party of Canada. Simply by declaring themselves supporters, they can cast a vote for the next leader. I like what the Liberal Party is doing by not charging a fee for its supporters to vote for a new leader but I also think that why would you ever make your supporters pay to vote for a new leader, if they want a new leader they shouldn't have to pay for one. This doesn't affect me now because I am a fan of the Conservatives but you never know in the future when i have my own house, job and family my opinions may change. When we did the Spectrum Quiz online I was almost exactly in the middle so it could go either way for me in the future.
