Die Liberalen von Premierminister Mark Carney könnten heute Abend bei Nachwahlen die Mehrheit in der Regierung gewinnen

If the rumours are true, they might even expand their majority by poaching more MPs from the Conservatives. Have we ever seen a majority government come into existence through defections alone? Usually minority governments tend to be unstable and collapse with elections no?

Let’s go. Nail in the PP coffin

Not really sure why he needs this so badly. Surely, he can convince 1 or 2 from another party (especially the NDP) to support his bills.

What is Carney really after?

I feel like one of the only ones on this sub that can’t wrap their heads around floor crossings at all.

We know that many in Canada vote for the candidate in their riding who matches the party leader they want above all else. Whether you think that is the “correct” way to vote is irrelevant, people unarguably do it.

Changing the party after the vote has been cast without the requirement for a new election feels like rug pulling those individual voters, voters need all available information prior to casting their ballots without exception.

I don’t get how anyone can support this, as someone who voted Liberal this time it feels so wrong to me and I hate how people are trying to mental gymnastics themselves into thinking it’s ok

Please don’t let this happen.
