I don't imagine the extra cost would outweigh the potential benefits.

This is partially why I'm not getting bothered with the NDP's actions; it's a lose-lose situation. If they can't find decent candidates and don't use poor fillers, they are not a national party and shouldn't be taken seriously. On the other hand, if they do use poor fillers they are not a serious party.

Unless the Green Party matures at the same pace as these current young voters, which is essential to their success as multi-issue party with a green focus.
