No. Standard in parliamentary democracies is when a leader steps down the party executives chose an interim leader to serve until they can run a leadership race to determine the new leader.
One party once chose a black woman to be an interim leader so they make that distinction.
Yeah, and when a certain somebody from Austria said that voting for him would be an "end to elections", he just meant that the Germans wouldn't be having to go to the polls every few months and things could get back to just having normal elections every few years. I'll buy that for a penny.
When a parliamentary party has their leader quit, the party bigwigs appoint an interim leader until the leadership race is over- usually someone with a lot of experience but isn't running for leadership themselves and they usually pick someone fairly milquetoast (for that party). For the Greens after May stepped down someone named Jo-Ann Roberts was appointed.
The Bloc Québécois appointed Vivian Barbot, a black woman, as interim leader in 2011 for a year. But she wasn't chosen by the members and interim leaders are designed to be temporary so they don't "count" per se.
The permanent leader is chosen by the party members so that takes time as you have campaigning then voting.
Permanent leader?
Presumably as opposed to somebody filling in while the real leader is overseas.

I know, but the way words are being played with lately by "journalists" ...
