More than two-third Canadians feel that Justin Trudeau should resign as the Prime Minister of Canada, according to a survey.
Canada is scheduled to hold parliamentary elections by October 2025. However, the feud and the rebellion in the Trudeau’s ruling Liberals Party is out in the open following
the resignation of his Chrystia Freeland, who served as Finance Minister and Deputy PM in his government. As many as
a third of Liberal MPs called for Trudeau’s resignation in an internal meeting following Freeland’s resignation.
A survey by Leger has found 69 per cent of Canadians feel that Trudeau should resign, as per National Post.
While Trudeau has been extremely unpopular, the problem is not just limited to him. The survey found that 72 per cent of Canadians said they are dissatisfied with the entire federal government.
The survey’s findings come at a time when Trudeau is under extreme pressure due to a revolt against him inside the Liberal Party and poor ratings. The situation is so bad that it has been reported that Trudeau may call for snap elections to avoid the situation from worsening.
Liberals behind Conservatives, may even lose Opposition role
The support for Trudeau’s Liberals is at a historic low. Analysts have said that Trudeau has become a liability. They have said that the party’s prospects would keep worsening if he stays at the helm.
The survey findings back such an assertion.
As per the latest findings on CBC News’ poll tracker, the Conservative Party is favoured by 44 per cent people and Trudeau Liberals are only supported by 20.9 per cent people.
With 20.9 per cent support, the Liberals have a very narrow lead over Jagmeet Singh’s New Democratic Party (NDP), which is favoured by 19 per cent Canadians.
This means that, if people vote as per the poll’s findings, Trudeau and Liberals’ might lose the Leader of the Opposition’s seat as well. If Liberals perform as bad as polls show, then Bloc Québécois or NDP may have better chances of leading the Opposition.
As things stand today, in the 337-member House of Commons of Canada, the Liberals have 153 MPs, the Conservatives 120, and NDP 25, and Bloc Québécois 33.
Trudeau has long been running a minority government with support from NDP. In September, the
NDP withdrew support to the government and plunged Trudeau and Liberals in a crisis.
