This is getting circular...

The majority of voters rejected Harper as Prime Minister. He was only PM because of the way our system works. It also happens that, because of the way our system works, coalitions can form which can oust him as PM.

I'm not saying what's happening is right or wrong in making this argument, just that the system is built for this to happen. If I were going to spin this I'd say that Harper is just the least unpopular of a bunch of losers - guys who couldn't lead their parties to be the favourite of even half the people in this country.
