I don't see the justification to throw out a government who just recieved a mandate from the Canadian people if their behaviour is consistent with what they promised the electorate. It has been. The gist of their platform was to keep a handle on spending as best as they could in these times. They really didn't promise much more than that.

Neither of the other three parties presented a vision for change that appealed to anywhere near the number of voters as the Conservatives did. Joining together will give them a majority of seats but, one with no mandate from the Canadian people.
