    ^ I'm trying to make sense of this. If the NDP and Libs have 'have far more seats than the Cons (combined)', how does that translate into a Conservative majority?

    For a majority, you need at least 155 seats. Once you reach that, no-one can touch you. If the NDP and Libs combined have over 155, then that constitutes a minority government for the Conservatives.

    • You misquoted me. I said 'far more votes', not 'far more seats.'
