Yes, but that took me off the track I wanted to go down, which actually comes from your book, Two Cheers for Minority Government. This came out, perhaps unfortunately, shortly before the events that have brought you here today, but you do have some material in there that's of interest.
In particular, you relied heavily on Jonathan Boston's book, where he's dealing with New Zealand and trying to advise New Zealanders who I think have accepted that they're into a realm of more or less perpetual minority governments. As to what goes on in non-Westminster systems in Europe with the idea of drawing lessons that can then be applied to the New Zealand situation, I think our discussions tend to revolve in this committee around the more recent prorogation, where this is really not an issue. It's the former prorogation and the attempt to replace the government with another government that is at issue there.
At any rate, just in passing, I'd like to get information on something. You cite Boston's citation of Germany, Spain, and Sweden as permitting what are called “constructive non-confidence votes”, and I gather only constructive non-confidence votes--that is, votes in which not only do we say we have no confidence in the government but we would have confidence in a government led by so-and-so.
