Advocate is right. Harper is confusing representative government with responsible government. the coalition actually understands responsible government according to the constition.
Responsiblity is a simulacrum to accountability. the prime minister must remain accountable/resonsible to the house, by making sure that the house has confidence in him. the liberal government says they don't have confidence in harper and therefore harper is not responsible. why does the liberal government not have confidence in harper? not sure yet.
how is it possible to be responsible when you need the confidence of the house of commons as a presumption to being responsible? and those people that you need to have confidence in you are the same people that want to grasp power away from you. responsibilty and confidence are directly related to each other, and this is unfortanate to the efficeiency of the canadian system.
