The anti-India Prime Minister's chair was saved narrowly, no-confidence vote failed in the Canadian Parliament
The motion brought by the Conservative Party against President Justin Trudeau in Canada has failed. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau won the confidence vote in Parliament on Wednesday and saved his government from falling. However, his hold on power still remains weak and the opposition Conservative Party has prepared to bring a no-confidence motion against the government again next week.
During the heated debate that lasted for hours in the Parliament, the ruling party and the opposition MPs blamed each other. After a long uproar, the Conservative motion was rejected by 120 votes against 211. Canada's main opposition leader Pierre Poilievre engaged in ousting Trudeau from power even before the election, while Trudeau's Liberal Party's ally NDP has also distanced itself from it. However, in this motion, the Jagmeet Singh-led NDP has voted for the Liberals.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has blamed Trudeau for the bad conditions of the country. Trudeau has been accused of failed leadership after rising inflation, house rent, unemployment, and tax hikes in Canada. Protests against him are increasing in the country. Pierre Poilievre said, "After nine years of Liberal government, Canada is in a bad condition. At the same time, the Trudeau government has become even weaker due to the withdrawal of the Liberal Party's ally NDP.
Trudeau is lagging in the polls.
According to a recent Angus Reid poll, the Conservative Party is far ahead of the Liberals, with 43 percent voting with the Conservatives, while only 21 percent voted for the ruling party. The NDP has received 19 percent support, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh said that his party will evaluate every bill in Parliament, only then will it decide how to vote.
What is the equation of the Canadian Parliament?
It is important for Trudeau to maintain the confidence of the House to remain in power. Currently, the Liberal Party has 153 MPs, while the main opposition Conservatives have 119, Bloc Quebecois has 33 and NDP has 25 seats. Trudeau's weakening government is constantly facing challenges, he needs the support of other parties to keep the minority government in power. If he does not give priority to the demands of these parties, the position of opposition parties against him may strengthen.
