Everyone knew the speaker would resign when the Liberals lost the confidence vote. There are many ndp/green supporters up in arms about this move. It's simply a political move, just like the greens voting against the Liberals bill that would have made them an official party and to ban donations to parties. The greens want both of these things, but wouldn't vote for them because the Liberals put them on the table. That's also just part of politics. People shouldn't start calling out another party, when their party does similar things.
