C’mon BC NDP minority government please!
Most likely either way because I can’t imagine the Greens will work with the Cons much if at all.
Yea, though, as someone not native to a parliamentary system... if the BC Cons get the plurality of seats do they have some like first bid to form government or something?
Which parties can form a coalition has always confused me.
The minority party that establishes confidence and supply is the one that gets to form a government. Under a C&S arrangement, the smaller party agrees to support in favor of the party forming a minority government for all motions of confidence and budget bills ("supply"). A government that fails to pass a budget bill or fails to defeat a motion of no confidence is said to have lost the "confidence of the House", which would force a new election.
