It is crazy. I always (wrongly) assumed that the current PM would take over as the head of a Coalition Government if it were formed. With that assumption, the provision for a possible Coalition Govt seemed like a good thing to have in our politcal system.
But now, knowing that an unelected man can lead a Coalition Govt (and the country), I cant support the way our Coalition govt works. It just seems undemocratic.
I think the only democratic thing that can be done once a Vote of Nonconfidence passes, is to call another election. Clearly, not ideal, but neither is an unelected person running the country.
It doesnt matter to me what party was running the minority government, and what parties form the coalition. I dont think it is right to replace the PM with someone unelected.
