Clearly, its all part of a conspiracy by the media consortium to stop the NDP from forming government. The NDP's chance of appealing to Green voters through policies they like is simply impossible if their leader is allowed to debate on television.  (rolls eyes) But that doesn't stop you from supporting the evil consortium's "rules" at the federal level.

Supposed to be according to who? You and Harper tried making that case during the election and it went over like a lead balloon. Both the NDP and the Cons were forced to reverse their position in the middle of the campaign and give the Greens a big publicity win. Well played!

And funny enough you hear the same kind of arguments from Cons and Liberals for why there should be only two leaders in the debates since only they have a chance of becoming PM and everyone else is just a distraction and a minor player.

There are a lot of parallels between the sneering disdain you see for the NDP from Libs and Cons and the attitudes of some NDP hacks towards the Greens. I guess everyone likes to look down on someone from their perch, regardless of how low on the ladder it might be. There also seems to be a bit of a correlation between those who want to see smaller parties have less influence and those who oppose electoral reform. Oh I forgot, you support electoral reform, in theory, in the distant future....
