    Cons can grab majority but will be gridlocked on every move

    Genuine question, why the assumption of gridlock if the conservatives form government with a majority?

      look at the numbers. NDP +Libs outnumber them in Parliament so anything they try to pass… including budget is in NDP+Libs hands… if budget does not pass… it’s auto-trigger for election if memory serves me right.

        NDP +Libs outnumber them now, yes. I assumed by “Cons can grab majority” you meant a majority of seats following an election, no?

          My understanding is that party with the most votes gets to form government, is it not so?
