Well once we start giving out seats based on percentage then we can say something.

But seeing as they have no seats or representation in government they are a non entity.

Considering that they had less then 10% of the national support in the last election means that they don't have a message that resonates with Canadians.

At their height the Rhino party of Canada garnered over 110,000 votes in the 1980 election, I'm more impressed with the fact that a comedy party got 2.4% of the vote as opposed to a serious party getting 6%.

Maybe once Elizabeth May is bounced people within and outside of the Green Party will be taken more seriously.
