Crisis? Changing leadership in a parliamentary system happens all the time.
Not in the Australian system, it doesn’t. It’s constitutionally allowed, but it’s historically been rare until very recently for a Prime Minister to face a challenge, especially early in their time as Prime Minister.
I know Australian politics very well - and calling this is a crisis is not an exaggeration.
I don't know a whole lot about the Parliamentary form of government but I'm not *completely* clueless,having watched Prime Minister's Question Time from Britain for some years.This form of government is in place in a number of countries,most of which are former British colonies.IMO the most notable are Britain,Canada and Australia.
In Britain,at least,changes in leadership that aren't the result of an election seem to me to be the exception to the rule.Thatcher went against her will...Blair went voluntarily (at least that's *my* understanding).
I know of no such changes having recently occurred in Canada...although I can't say I follow their politics very closely.And I know that Rudd and Gilliard played a form of musical chairs for a few years and I think I recall the Australia's Governor General having removed one of their PMs from office some years ago.
Of course it may happen more often in countries like the British Virgin Islands and Bermuda...small,relatively unimportant nations.
I suppose it depends on how one defines "all the time".
