You may be right about the Green Party getting a seat or two this time around. Combine the probable general voter apathy with the Green zealots' ability to get their vote out, and it's a real possibility.

With one or two Green MP's in the house for a couple of years, that gives enough time for the Green Party to cut its teeth in Parliament and perhaps, move to official opposition in the subsequent federal election. Hey, it happened for the Reform/Alliance Party.

Hey, looks like there may be an upside to this stupid election.
