He has, though I wonder if he polled the right question. I wonder how his constituents feel about the corruption of the Liberals, or the $20+ billion in bribes that the Liberals have handed out to try and gain support? I think there are far, far more relevent reasons to decide support or opposition for this ammendment than the desire for an election.

Fair enough but the only question they could legitimately ask that would not be leading the respondants is "do you want an election". If you bring up the reasons for ousting the government the poll instantly becomes biased.
e.g.
"The Liberal government has proven to be corrupt...do you want them tossed out on their hiney?"
Exaggeration I realize but you see my point.
Bottom line is that I've talked with a lot of people that don't like what the Libs have done but dislike the prospects of an election even more. Many people don't know what they would do in an election. Choose between a corrupt govt or a party who's platform and basic philosophies you disagree with. For many people this is not an easy decision and one they would rather avoid at least for now.
Might not be right but its the way some are feeling.
