The independent MHA for Mount Pearl-Southlands is suggesting that, instead of going to a non-confidence vote should chaos ensue in the wake of Dwight Ball’s resignation, forming a coalition may be the way to go.

Paul Lane was responding to comments made by PC leader Ches Crosbie, who said they could call for a non-confidence vote should the political scene become too hectic.

Lane notes that such a vote doesn’t have to mean an election, which he says the people do not want.

The Lieutenant Governor can ask if the opposition parties can form a government, which Lane believes they should if the situation were to arise. He says doing so would create a great opportunity to work together for the greater good of the province.

Lane says as long as everyone agrees to work towards the province’s best interests he would be in favour of such action.
