A Facebook Debate:

Owen Abrey I don't buy the parliamentary democracy spin employed by the opposition parties. No other PM has survived in Minority position than Mr. Harper. Minority governments don't tend to survive long. Mr Harper, to his credit, has used every lever of our democracy to survive. You have to admit his moves have been brilliant. Not necessarily popular but necessary anyhow. So we only have 5 elections in the past decade not 6. All of the levers he used were laid down in Parliamentary legislation that was duly voted on by Parliament and the Senate. To say it is undemocratic is foolishness.a few seconds ago ·
