That the government would resign after losing a confidence vote is a matter of convention, not law.

Just like its convention that the leader of the Party becomes Prime Minister.
If the Liberals ignored a non-confidence vote, they'd be finished as a Party. It's one thing if a few of them are corrupt, another if the entire party hi-jacks the political process and steers it clearly against the grain.
Anyone have a link where a govt. failed a confidence vote and remained in power?
