Seven of Canada's smaller political parties have launched a lawsuit, claiming they're not being given their fair share in electoral funds.
...
The Christian Heritage party is looking for its share. So, too, is the Marxist-Leninist party, the Communist party and the Marijuana party.
A good plan, as I can understand the frustration at being left out of the money even on a per-vote basis, and there may well be a serious case to be made based on s. 15 of the Charter.
But why stop at cooperating for the purposes of the lawsuit? Surely if these groups all joined forces, they could give the Greens a run for their money as Canada's fifth party. And the collective message wouldn't be any less coherent than that of the Greens now.
