Oh, you're right, I thought they got shut out in 1993, but they actually got 2 seats.

I think the % of national vote is the only fair way for who goes on National Leadership debates - I wold say 5-8. It allows a fringe party who dominates one of the major provinces to be included but not say if you only run seats in the Yukon or whatever.
If you do it by candidates run or something else then the Bloc likely gets excluded and even though everyone outside Quebec should despise and detest them - they are still important to have in a national debate because their core issue is one of national importance.

Yeah, that's why you need an 'or' scenario. Seats or Votes or Candidates, enough of any one of the three gets you in.

I just dont think if some whackjob from Lethbridge or whatever who wants to run an Alberta Independence Federal party and gets 1 seat that somehow that whaco should have a debate and essentially free advertising nationally.

Yeah, again that's why I said 'at least five seats'.
