	Leadership Convention (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A leadership convention is a meeting of party members to select a leader of the party.
		While leadership conventions have compensated to a very substantial degree for the regional imbalances of the parliamentary parties, they have at the same time effectively ended the caucus's monopoly over the selection of a party leader, with a curious result.
		The record suggests that the leadership convention process actually serves as a disincentive to those who might aspire to a lengthy parliamentary career capped by a successful run at their party's leadership.

	Leadership convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Canadian politics, a leadership convention is held by a political party when the party needs to choose a leader due to a vacancy or a challenge to the incumbent leader.
		Unlike in the United States, where political conventions are held every four years to choose the party's presidential nominee, in Canada the leader of a party generally remains that party's de facto candidate for Prime Minister until such time as he or she quits or is dismissed by the party.
		Until 2003, when it adopted an OMOV system, every biennial convention of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation and its successor, the New Democratic Party, in the twentieth century was a leadership convention.
