That's actually a very good point that I hadn't considered. Thank you for pointing that out to me.
I disagree with FanIn80s argument, but I feel that arguing with it directly will lead us to a circular argument because it comes back to the mandate of a minority and the value of being elected by a plurality but not a majority of voters. To me, there's no difference between a "future PM who doesn't have the support of Canadians" and Stephen Harper today, as he was not elected with a majority. Granted, nobody else was either, which is where having the support of the house, who were elected by Canadians to represent them, becomes important.
