It may be the definition of undemocratic but is completely in line with our form of government. Politicians aren't required to stick to their campaign promises.

Part of the role of the GG is to determine the authority to govern by parliamentary tradition, rule of responsible government and historical practice.
That is why the GG is very much responsible for upholding democratic principles and would be entirely within reason to dissolve parliament instead of allowing a backdoor coalition so soon after an election.
