the ideology of the party leader is irrelevant since there is no block voting, i vote for myself as you do, therefore if we do have a leader they are basically volunteering to represent the Caucus to the Parliament, they do not decide for the Caucus. The Caucus is our own private debate club basically, with a somewhat fixed topic. The leader ought to remind everyone when a vote is coming and keep up with the goings on, but we all should really stay active on these matters in as much as the Parliament interests us. If it isn't interesting - so really it is gonna come down to who ever actually runs with the ball. It isn't as though I'm doing much anyways - I'd take the title "Club Secretary" but I'd also let RPA have it; he doesn't want it, so whatever.
Youre right btw, as a crude average I am probably a little left of you, and still at a Federal level I'd push as far right as possible. I want politics to happen within a personal range or basically not at all. The president is commander in chief not emperor, the armed forces is a defense force, not god's mercenaries. etc.
