		For example, parties which have suffered a serious electoral setback may embark on a process of party 'renewal' in order to lay the foundations for an eventual return to power.
		In adapting and surviving, a party's attempts to renew itself by 'democratizing' the processes through which it selects its leader can have a number of consequences for the type of party which it ultimately becomes, and not necessarily those anticipated when the process of democratization was implemented.
		In an earlier time, parties guarded the right to select their leaders closely, and often fought tenaciously to ensure that the leader was someone with proven party credentials and demonstrated political abilities.

		This, coming from a man who made a back-room deal to ensure his rise to PC party leader, only to broker a "unite the right" merger that contravened the very nature of the promise he made to ensure that the PC party and Alliance would not merge.
