Poor Kelly McParland

Despite following politics in Canada for quite a number of years, Mr. McParland is confused about the way parliament works. Mr. McParland seems to believe that a government should be able to pass any legislation it wants, even if it does not command a majority of the seats in the House of Commons. He also seems to believe that the party that wins a plurality of seats in the House (as opposed to a majority of the seats, or God forbid, a majority of the vote), should be invested with absolute power. This seems to be a common misconception among supporters of the Conservative Party of Canada, so Mr. McParland should not feel himself singled out.
