Why Tories Don't Need a Majority to Keep Power in 2016, and Beyond [View all]

As one of the comments to this article says, this is depressing. Enlightening, but depressing as hell.

Call it an unexpected doomsday scenario for New Democrats, Liberals and Greens, but the Conservatives have a clear path to stay in power after the election into 2016 -- and then fight a second election -- without Parliament ever sitting.
