2019 Federal Election

[jgsz]

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.

It would be foolish to call a non-confidence vote if they didn't think they could unseat the government.  As for punishing political parties and leaders, that has, unfortunately, become a new blood sport in Canadian politics regardless of what they do.  For example, I didn't vote for Kathleen Wynne or Justin Trudeau but the visceral hatred for them by some voters is/was unwarranted.  It's not healthy in a democracy.
