As Prime Minister Harper via the Governor-General ended the session at Parliament, the plans for a coalition government didn't happen, however, their plans are still to defeat the government in a non-confidence vote at first opportunity, not matter how good the government does.

This to me is a definite no, no in that this isn't how the democratic process is supposed to work.

I am, therefore, advocating that the Prime Minister suggest to the Governor-General to say upfront that any defeat of the government will not result in the forming of any three-party coalition government, but will rather result in the dissolving of parliament and the calling of another Federal election. This being known upfront from the Governor-General should end all this nonsense.

I don't normally comment or get involved in the political scene, however, this coalition stuff is going way too far.
