I can't seem to edit my initial post so here is the background. Sorry for the confusion:

1998–2002: Greens as governing party, first term

A bicycle-taxi (velotaxi) in front of the German Bundestag in Berlin with the Alliance '90/The Greens livery for the German federal election, 2005.

In 1998,
despite a slight fall in their percentage of the vote (6.7%), the
Greens retained 47 seats and joined the federal government for the
first time in coalition with the Social Democrats. Joschka Fischer became vice chancellor and foreign minister in the new government, which had two other Green ministers (Andrea Fischer, later Renate Künast, and Jürgen Trittin). Almost immediately, the party was plunged into a crisis by the question of German participation in the NATO actions in Kosovo.
Numerous anti-war party members resigned their party membership when
the first post-war deployment of German troops in a military conflict
abroad occurred under a Green government, and the party began to
experience a long string of defeats in local and regional
elections. Disappointment with the Green participation in government
increased when anti-nuclear-power activists realized that shutting down
the country's nuclear plants would not happen overnight, and numerous
business-friendly SPD members of the federal cabinet opposed the
environmentalist agenda of the Greens, necessitating far-reaching
compromises.

In 2001, the party experienced a further crisis as some Green
Members of Parliament refused to back the government's plan of sending
soldiers to help with the 2001 U.S. Attack on Afghanistan. Chancellor Gerhard Schröder
called a vote of confidence, tying it to his strategy on the war. Four
Green MPs and one Social Democrat voted against the government, but
Schröder was still able to command a majority.

On the other side, a major success of the Greens as a governing
party, was in 2000, the decision to phase-out the use of nuclear
energy. Jürgen Trittin as the Minister of Environment, Nature
Conservation and Nuclear Safety, reached an agreement with energy
companies on the gradual shut down of the country's nineteen nuclear power plants and a cessation of civil usage of nuclear power by 2020. This was enacted as the Nuclear Exit Law.
Based on the calculation of 32 years as the usual time of operation for
a nuclear power plant, the agreement precisely tells how much energy a
power plant is allowed to produce before being closed down.

The way I see a similarity is that it is the ndp's first taste of power federally and as there was a similar rift in the ONDP when Rae formed an accord with the liberals that there is a possibility for a rift to happen in this case and how likely or not you think of that possibility.

Sorry If I'm in error over that. I am not that familiar with ontario politics but I read an article that suggested that many people tore up their memberships.

Regardless, I was curious about how people think the potential for the ndp to be in government and making compromises with the liberals could affect the grassroots and whether any large rift could occur or not.
