2019 Federal Election

Thanks for that link.

I just had an odd idea occur to me: what if the governor-general would only appoint a proposed prime minister who led a coalition of parties who attracted at least 50% of the vote? Food for thought. Although in the typical situation that currently leads to a majority government this would mean that they would have to appoint a minority coalition, which would be quite strange for reasons already discussed.

Operationalizing that seems kind of tricky. So you have to gain confidence of not a majority of the House but of the vote? What does that mean?
