I agree--it's not undemocratic. In fact, no more undemocratic than forming a coalition to assume control of parliament.

If you believe shaking hands outside a polling station, and forming a coalition in a power grab with a party you specifically said you wouldn't just weeks earlier, are comparable... then i guess you could use such an analogy.

In the end--bending the rules to win an election is tacky. I don't really get how you can see it any other way.

Do you honestly think this is what won the election though?? Really? If so i would agree, but i see it as a politician campaigning to the very end...and possibly well within the rules of doing so. Really the antithesis of "not democratic" from where i sit.
Again i guess if it its some long standing tradition to not do so, i can see where some may be upset....but to launch a complaint is just plain spiteful IMO. (Unless he was truly breaking a law of course).
