Green Party Should Be in the Debate
I strongly believe that the green party should be in the nationally televised debates and that the networks have it all wrong. I have four reasons for this belief.
First, the Green Party is a national party with candidates across the county and a sitting MP.
Second, the Green Party receives tax payer money as a result of the votes they got in the last election and I should see what I am paying for.
Third, in a poll I saw lat night on A channel the Green Party had 9 % of the decided voters the same as the Bloc which is only a regional party dedicated to the break up of the country.
Fourth, in a democracy we should see that legitimate parties are not discriminated against and prevented from having their platform, values and beliefs exposed to public scrutiny..

the Green Party is a national party with candidates across the county
- Do you have any idea how easy
it is to start a national party in Canada?
and a sitting MP
- They have one unelected MP, as in not elected as a Green. That's the difference.
the Green Party receives tax payer money as a result of the votes they got in the last election and I should see what I am paying for.
- Then go to a Green party rally.

#4 Yeah, the difference once again is the Bloc have elected MPs
in a democracy we should see that legitimate parties are not discriminated against and prevented from having their platform, values and beliefs exposed to public scrutiny
- I agree, but the Greens are not a legitimate party and will not be until they at the bare minimum elect an MP under the Green banner. I would prefer that they have to reach official party status in the Commons to get in the debates, but since I know they'll never elect an MP I'll settle for that.
