In a parliamentary system, I think they're allowed at any time to switch which MP is their PM.

The funny thing is Shimon Peres is a perennial loser and I doubt the party would do any better under his leadership than its doing under the forgotten Amram Mitzna's. It shows the doldrums the Labor Party is in when Sharon can openly end his campaign in Mitzna's "Red Haifa" stronghold but conservative Jerusalem is no go territory for the Labor Party chief.
