Ya but the percentage of what they spent that was accounted for by the funding was lower whereas that money was a lifeline for the other parties. As it is by eliminating that cash political diversity is ended since parties like the Green party won't ever be able to get a start and we'll be left with a crappy two party system full of wedge politics.
I might add that the Reform Party, Harper's old party, needed that money when it was a small movement. As it stands the Conservatives are the only party that can campaign after that money is gone and the Liberals will be bankrupt.
