I guess it's amusing when it works to your advantage. Didn't the Liberals, faceing a non-confidence vote, pass their budget on a surprise midnight reading? I'm probably confusing the particulars or the specific situation, but regardless of your political stripes, these kind of mix-ups make our political system look like a joke

The opposition Conservatives denounced the Liberal-NDP budget deal and threatened repeatedly to vote against the budget and bring down the government. But on June 23, the Liberals deployed a rarely-used procedural tactic to limit debate. In a midnight vote, the Liberal's amended budget passed third reading by a vote of 152-147.
