This could force another election. The Liberals still have the confidence of the Crown as they are the majority party. Yes the opposition can call for an early non-confidence motion and the LG would have to make a determination whether to go to the polls again or ask the minority NDP to form a government. It appears the NDP/Green collaboration isn't prepared to do this. So, the Liberals can bring forward legislation that will be voted on in a case by case basis. Defeating anything but a money bill isn't a confidence vote and won't trigger an election. Defeating non money bill legislation just because won't cut it with the electorate as it will be viewed as obstructionist (they'll have to have good reasons to defeat it). So, this allows Christy some latitude in crafting legislation and how a budget would be tied to that legislation.

Or she could just go to the LG and say offer the job to the NDP. Then the fun would really start as their new found friendship with the Greens could end.
