It should also be noted that when Borden formed the Union Coalition... it didn't push the party with the most seats out of office... it buttressed the governing party to show solidarity in the war effort and to get conscription passed. Not all the Liberals supported it either.
This will be the first time the party with plurality will be forced out of government for a group of parties that came in after.
