So written agreements between parties are only agreements if they are convenient? Why have them at all? If you aren't going to keep your word, don't give your word.

Why do you keep making excuses for people who can't keep their word? If you don't demand ethical behaviour from politicians you will never get it.

In a minority gov't situation, I don't really think it's realistic to think that some written agreement is going to forestall an election forever.  That's naive.  The written agreement was clearly non-binding on any of them, so that makes it risky.

BTW, the whole Green caucus signed the agreement with the NDP, it wasn't just between Horgan and Weaver as some would like to make out.

Not true.  The leaders of the NDP and Greens signed it.  So I can see Horgan's point of view that a new leader is a bit of a wild card...
