Then perhaps you already know that 'we' didn't vote for any Government, we voted our a representative from our riding.
Then perhaps you already know that I don't care about the differences because its all the same at the end of the day, and you are just trying to justify all that wasted time you spend reading political science text books just to sound tough on an internet forum.
Maybe a bit of common sense - and a whole lot less cherry picking and spin doctoring for out-of-context propaganda?
Ignatieff Confesses!
He will overthrow the gov't, if Harper does not win a majority.
Ignatieff clears the air: Grits could govern if Tories win minority - The Globe and Mail
So there it is folks.
A clear choice.
Harper as PM with a majority, or Ignatieff as PM, beholden to the Bloc Quebecois for his position.
I have to say, I told you so.
And I have to give the Count credit. He did step up to the plate and make his intentions known before the vote. Good for him, I'm glad he is not simply stealing the choice from the Canadian people. He is not stupid. He must know this could easily sink his chances. So, he made the ethical choice, and made the peoples' choice clear.
Kudos to the Count.
Now, let's get out there and sink him, for the good of the nation.
A Conservative majority.
I think you've made a poor choice in words in your claim - the word 'overthrow' is not appropriate. Again read what Ignatief has said, it is all conditional on Harper winning a plurality but not a majority of seats, forming a minority gov't which then fails to secure the confidence of the House. If that happens, (Harper's proposed minority gov't fails to win the confidence of the House), then there is no gov't in effect. So Ignatieff would not be overthrowing any gov't (there is no gov't to overthrow).
