Here’s why I think Parliament chose to fund the NDP despite no official status…
I think it’s because the Conservatives and BQ know that a two party-system would become a 1.75-party one in reality, giving the Liberals lasting power at their own expense. The Terrebonne and other byelections make that quite clear. We need a space for Canada’s left flank. And an end to FPTP.

Conservatives know the only chance they have for power is the NDP siphoning off enough votes from the Liberals.
Liberals designed that the agreement so that funding is based on the party at the time of election so as to encourage more floor crossing.
