Prorogue

[chezmax]

The Governor General has agreed to prorogue parliament until late January.

I imagine there'll be quite a bit of intense campaigning, as the Conservatives will have to defend what they've done, and pass a confidence vote upon resuming parliament, and then again for their budget.

I was actually kind of surprised by the whole back-and-forth on this issue. Also surprised at the seeming number of people violently against a coalition government - guess they forget they're not voting for the prime minister...

Amused by those who think proportional representation would avoid this issue - you're MORE likely to have minority/coalition governments under this system. Single-Transferable-Vote, there's a system worth investigating.
