Here’s why I think Parliament chose to fund the NDP despite no official status…
I think it’s because the Conservatives and BQ know that a two party-system would become a 1.75-party one in reality, giving the Liberals lasting power at their own expense. The Terrebonne and other byelections make that quite clear. We need a space for Canada’s left flank. And an end to FPTP.

Maybe just maybe the Liberals see a reemergence of the Reform Party, and want to encourage it to happen. Sure I am sure they may lose some of the floor crossers and there for the majority but it will give PP even less power. Sure the Reform Party was conservative but they did not have to agree with the PC’s on everything.
