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."

Well, no.

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

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.

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