NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will bring forward a motion of non-confidence to bring down the Trudeau government in the next sitting of the House of Commons.

"The Liberals don't deserve another chance," Singh wrote in a letter on Friday. "That's why the NDP will vote to bring this government down."

You want a two-party system, then. That's pretty much the only way for parties to never work strategically.

Well, no.

I want a system that's actually designed to support multiple parties. Westminster ain't it.

Former British colonies are still suffering from the effects of first-past-the-post.

Somebody's always propping up another party if you're Germany or Norway or Spain, though, or you don't have a government. That's what I mean. We have something like 2.5 parties, so we're not used to it, but it's how it's "supposed" to work.

There's no formal coalition agreement, and I don't see Trudeau scrambling to offer cabinet posts to NDP MPs.

The less formal arrangement they had lasted a pretty long time, all things considered.

But Singh doesn't owe him anything.

No. That's not what they're saying at all.

The NDP is not in government. Trudeau did not form a coalition, he decided to form a single-party cabinet in a hung parliament. This is how this always plays out.If he wanted stability, he could have formed a coalition.

Formal coalition vs. informal support is a distinction without a difference, though.
