So it's by definition a coup, except here where some people think it's a majority government.

Who said that they would unite? As rubecube pointed out earlier, they don't even have to form a coalition.
And you are wrong about the party with the largest number of seats always forming part of the government. For example, the Kadima party won the most seats in the 2009 Israel election but did not form part of the ruling coalition. Benjamin Netanyahu, who lead the second place (Likud) party, became the Prime Minister. If I remember correctly, the "Harper Government" supported that Israeli government. If it was an illegitimate way to form government, then why did we (he) support it?
