A strong opposition is important in a healthy democracy. What we saw in the last minority parliament was not a strong opposition, it was a bunch of drama from a bitter venomous house. If they truly thought that the Conservatives were destroying Canada (as they claimed in front of the microphones every day) the opposition had the votes to remove them from power at any time. The threat of a confidence vote would have done more to keep Harper in check than all the drama.
