If the Libs/NDP/Bloc are so convinced that the Canadian people will agree with them that the government has lost confidence with the people then they should vote no confidence and take it back to the poll.
The whole argument about popular vote is irrelevant since Canada's democratic model is not based on a popular vote model, its based around seats.
You can say that the majority of individuals didn't vote for the conservatives. However, the Conservatives received 37% of the vote, the Liberals 26% of the votes, the NDP 18% of the vote and the bloc vote. So the conservatives also received more of the popular vote then the other individual parties. Unless your saying that there was massive vote planning on the left to split the vote to make sure that the Libs didn't get to many votes.
Fact is the Canadians said that they wanted Harper as Prime Minister and increased his seat count and slightly increased his popular vote, the told the Liberals thats they sucked by reducing their seats and reducing their popular vote share, The NDP received more seats and more votes at the expense of the Liberals in terms of overall numbers, not in terms of the Conservatives.
Dion was polled as the worst possible choice as PM by the Candian voters, now there is the possibility that he is going to be installed not voted into power by the Liberal/NP/Bloc which based on numbers is against the will of the people of Canada.
The Liberal party lost seats and lost votes which is a message from Canadians that they didn't want them in power, yet the Liberal/NDP and bloc are going to install the Liberal's into power.
I'm wondering how many of these Liberal and NDP MP's have asked their consitituants if throwing down the government and seizing power is what they want. They know that if this goes to an election that they will be destroyed by the voters so they're working around the voters.
The polls that were shown earlier in this thread show that Canadian's are going to be incensed if this grab for power happens.
