The Australian has been going downhill for a while. Every now and then they have a good Op-ed, but there has been some tripe come out of there recently.

I have a question;

Has it ever occured in any democracy in the world, with a similar model of government like ours, at State or Federal level - that the sitting Prime Minister / President loses his/her seat, but their political party wins Government again?

For example; imagine if John Howard had lost his seat to Maxine McKew in 2007 Federal Election, but the Coalition still won power. What would happen then? Who becomes Prime Minister?

Is it mandatory that a party leader must also be an MP?

Not necessarily, just look at the current leader of the opposition in QLD, Campbell Newman.

Not necessarily, just look at the current leader of the opposition in QLD, Campbell Newman.

While Campbell Newman is leader of the LNP, he is not technically leader of the opposition. That role is currently held by Jeff Seeney, with an agreement being in place that if Campbell Newman is elected to the seat of Ashgrove at the coming election he will take on the role of parliamentary leader of the LNP.

Antony Green goes into detail, while also giving examples from Canada:
