I was a bit scared to click on the link given the state of Public Discourse in 2025… but that was a genuinely lovely story! Thanks for sharing.

So, we have no parties in Nunavut under consensus government and we are all excited to find out who our new premier is today!

The regular members sit as "opposition" to the cabinet but it is not so much opposition as asking questions and working to reach consensus. The spirit of the Nunavut government is based on the values of Inuit Quajimajatugangit (traditional values and way of life).

Why don't we, the voters elect our premier? Because Nunavut (like the Northwest Territories) is a consensus government, a non-partisan westminister style of governance. The newly minted MLAs nominate and elect the premier and then the cabinet.
