Except of course that several one-time fringe parties went on to become significant players in national politics ...

  • the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation
  • the Progressive Party
  • the Reform Party
  • the Bloc Quebecois

Political parties and movements can and do and really must rise from - media-wise - nothing.

The problem of the Green Party is that they are in a grey area, a no-man's land between obscurity and significance and so it's not clear what sort of coverage they should get.

The consensus seems to be they need a seat in Parliament to get a voice. It might be considered an arbitrary cutoff, but then so would any particular percentage of the national vote.
