Can the Liberal caucus fire Justin Trudeau? Former Liberal leader Stéphane Dion likewise bowed to pressure and stepped down early after the 2008 election. It states that if 20 per cent of a caucus calls for a leadership review, the caucus will vote on the leader by secret ballot. So, as it stands, the Liberal caucus would have to use the same old pressure tactics if it wanted Trudeau out. In Australia, leadership “spills,” in which a caucus triggers a leadership vote, have become common.
