Ok fine.
then hypothetically, if Harper can convince 10 oppositioon MP's to cross the floor and sit as conservatives, everything is just fine right? A full fledged majority right now.
I mean it's in the constitution and it's a parliamentary process. So it has to be OK.
just because something like this CAN happen, certainly does not mean it should. they have slapped the Canadian electorate in the face should this proceed and decided that assuming power via the back door is much more important than the wishes of the majority of Canadians. And yes they got the most seats by a mile. the most votes and the mandate to govern.
Again...if you are suggesting that most canadians voted against the conservatives, then it is equally true that even more Canadians voted against the Liberals...and the Bloc...and the NDP.
Also I woud suggest that any liberal would be Ok with the Conservatives making a deal with the NDP or the Bloc should they so choose to give them a majority and pass legislation that way...right?
