Lead Candidate System

It would be great if parties could nominate their lead candidate around 1–2 months before an election. Once nominated, the candidate would become the main face of the party's campaign. Events such as rallies, fundraisers and other campaign appearances would have their effects doubled, both positive and negative. A successful rally could therefore have a much bigger impact on the campaign, while a failed event or scandal could hurt the party significantly more. This would make choosing the right candidate an important strategic decision and give the final weeks of an election campaign much more weight.
