Sure doesn't sound democratic to me. I always thought that if the government lost a motion of confidence, had it's budget voted down, or was defeated on any "money" bill, even by one vote then the government has to go to the people in another General Election ... even by one vote. I realise that another election hard on the heels of one that elected a minority government would be unpopular, but that's not the point. The opposition over here knows that Canadians don't want another elecction; so, they don't use their power to get rid of the tories. But that's not the point either. Manipulating percentages in order to transform a minority into a majority is pure, unadulterated bs.
