I can see that playing a factor in whether to throw it back to an election or not. (www.vancouversun.com)

What's the series of events here? Can the GG dissolve parliament and then refuse the coalition, thus spurring an election? - Mop Dec 2, 09:53 8
- Yes. The first step is the vote of non-confidence on Monday evening. Tuesday, the PM goes to the GG and resigns, asking for an election. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 09:56 7
  - you think Harper will try an prorogue? - mafic Dec 2, 10:05 6
    - The decision will be made Thursday afternoon, but I'm betting no. I was forwarded an email last night that had an MP giving an assessment. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 10:09
    - (and would the GG accept that? be interesting if she said no.) -- nm - mafic Dec 2, 10:09 3
      - I would support her if she did. Bad precident to allow PMs to prorouge to avoid a defeat. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 10:12 2
        
        there really no untransparently political moves left for anyone. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 10:31 1
        
        Which is why I'm starting to lean toward, "She's throw it to the voters to decide." -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 10:33
    - ^^ try *and* prorogue^^ -- nm - mafic Dec 2, 10:05
why was she still traveling Europe up until today? shouldn't she have come back earlier? -- nm - zork Dec 2, 09:52 3
- Her grandmother invited her on the trip so she could get over Logan, wasn't it? and didn't she go back to Yale then graduate then the series ended? -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 09:56 1
  - *reduces Loosi's meds* -- nm - zork Dec 2, 10:00
- I have no real problem with that. We don't want the threshold for "emergency recall" too low. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 09:55
