Annoyed by the question raised about legitimacy

At the press conference, Anderson said he was proud to be prime minister. But he also does not want to lead a government that would question the legitimacy of the government. He said if a party splits from the government, the coalition government should resign. Although the position of Parliament has not changed, it should be tried again.
