Usually I do not pay very much attention to the political games that they play in governments, but this situation became interesting because I was not aware that a democratic government could be overthrown in such a way.

As I said in a previous post I'm not a politician, I never studied Canadian, or any other, politics to such a depth that I would understand all the procedures.

I have been under the impression that the people elect the Prime Minister by voting for the people or party of their choice, the party that gets most votes gets to govern the country on behalf of the Queen.

In this situation the Conservatives received most votes so they set up the government, that seems like it should be, but then three other parties are saying that they will not support the proposals made by the governing party, not only that, but they are demanding that they be allowed to take over and do the governing because together the three parties received more votes than the governing party.

It seems to me that the will of the largest group of people would be negated if this was allowed to happen without a general election.
That does not seem very democratic in my opinion.

After saying that, I do concede that unifying factors such as this (getting three parties to work together) might be good if the results were beneficial for the people.
But judging from past performances of the NDP and the Quebec Separatists, and from the reason they banded together, I doubt that anything good can come out of it.
