Yes I want the people to decide.

And the only fair way is to have every state vote on the same day as in a general election, whilst all the candidates are still in the race.

Your comparison with the Prime Minister isn't really accurate. It would make more sense to comapre the PM to the Leaders of the House and Senate, and I don't believe those positions are decided by the general electorate but by the party?
