Well if I take your example it's just parroting the word in almost everyone of your posts over the course of this thread.
But:A sudden appropriation of leadership or power.
As you can see nowhere in that description is it contigent upon getting into bed with anyone. Getting into bed with people isn't what makes something a coup.
I think some people have suggesed that what was proposed isn't in the spirit of democracy, but illegal?
My point is that if suddenly there's a reversal of fortune for the Harper government, somethign that was specifically voted for by the populace, I wonder if there will be the same outrage about it. But there's specifically been a lot of outrage about that here. That what was voted for isn't going to happen so would the converse be true?
