The seating chaos for the NDP is funny, but the financial hit is the real story. Under House rules, a party needs 12 seats to qualify for research funding.

A prediction......Rob Ashton wins the NDP leadership. Maybe that's hope speaking. Of the three frontrunner, he seems to have good potential to give Poilievre and Carney some angst.
