No, the move backfires either way. Say Harper bankrupts the Liberals and NDP by abolishing funding for political parties from the government. What do you think happens next? Its obvious the next step would be for the NDP and Liberals to merge into one united left-wing party. Thus, Harper would have created an monster opposition party.
