^^. I'm torn...so to speak. Sure they have an MP, but it wasn't an elected MP, so to say that they are now represented in the House of Commons is a bit of a twist. They weren't voted in so how they can claim to have support of that riding is beyond me. Sure there is a defiite increase in their support levels throughour the country but that's a different story all together.
IMO, they shouldn't be included. They don't (really) have a seat in the House of Commons, and don't have a large percentage of support in the country. Now, I also have questions about the Bloc being included in national debates as well. They have support in Quebec only. They don't even run candidates outside of Quebec. I just don't see how they should be included in a nationwide debate when they don't care about the rest of the nation.
