2019 Federal Election

[MidTowner]

"We won most seats, we should govern" argument resonates sufficiently well with many Canadians that it is essentially true,

... until the first non-confidence vote that they would likely lose and, a) we have another election or b) the governor general asks another party to form government.

My point is that I expect they would win such a confidence vote, because no one wants to go back to the polls (not voters, and not the parties), and I don't think the Liberals probably will want to govern without a plurality of seats, even if they could, because voters could very well eventually punish them for doing it.
