The Lt. Gov made a serious mistake and pundits that claim the decision "carried the weight of constitutional convention" completely missed the mark. The decision was completely WRONG as the NDP and greens conspired (Yes, CONSPIRED) to overthrow the government using the confidence measures of our parliamentary system of government and take power WITHOUT seeking a mandate from the electorate. In the election, NOBODY voted for this "alliance" and it lacks legitimacy. Had the two parties come together AFTER the confidence vote in an attempt to form a legitimate government then the decision would be correct. BUT as things stand, it is a travesty.
