At these numbers and projected seat totals him not having the confidence of the house means that none of the other three parties are going along with him. It's not a pure Liberal ploy here.
Confidence of the house is so incredibly subjective. All it takes is the exact same makeup being re-elected, and all of a sudden he has support of the house when he didn't before? Hardly. It is up to the other parties to listen to Canadians and the output of the vote, no matter what their individual indications, or else we'll constantly be in this same loop.

While Harper would have reason to compromise to get stuff done, the other parties should compromise MORE because they don't have near the amount of support.
