I hated Margaret Day with a passion last night, but it doesn't mean she shouldn't be on TV. Her party is far more federal than the BQ, and therefore has more legitimacy IMO.
National or not, the BQ at it's peak was large enough to become Her Majesty's "Loyal" Opposition. The Green Party is just a protest party at this point and has done little to move beyond that.

The BQ has far, far, far more right to participate in the debates than the Greens do.
