Our head of state could lose horribly in he polls all over the country, but then as the head of a particular party they would then still be Prime Minister.

This happened back in the early 90s with Kim Campbell and a whopping two seats for the PCs.

she never won anything, she was only the PM cause of Mulroney giving it to her. Which in his defence was a good move cause #1 it gave us our first and possibly last female PM ( we're not sexest anymore! ) #2 he didn't have to lose a massive loss and go down in disgrace, but Kim sure did.
