I'm not all that familiar with Australian politics. But the Australian constitutional crisis in the 1970s was a fascinating story.

Currently Canada has no governor general. If the right events fall in the right way, we could have a situation where the legitamicy of the government is questioned.

History can indeed be shaped by key figures. From your review, it seemed the political actors were indeed shapers.

Our current prime is not one of those shapers. But his father, a past prime minister, was. Probably the last shaper of Canadian society. Maybe there's one in the future.

The question is our electoral systems. Are they capable of finding those shapers of society? If so, our these electoral systems capable of sorting out the bad from the good?
