Newfoundland and Labrador Seat Requirement

edit

I changed this from 4 to 2, as with the redistribution of seats before the 2015 election (there are fewer in the NL House of Assembly) the NL Speaker ruled that 2 seats are now the new requirement for party status. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brent Cotter (talkcontribs) 16:14, 28 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

It is not a Canadian practice

edit

The article is misleading in stating that it is a Canadian practice as it also exists here in Australia.

Here is one example: https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/katter-accuses-lnp-and-labor-of-cash-grab-20121129-2aj0n.html

"Katter’s Australian Party (KAP) was granted official party status by the Queensland parliament at 5pm (AEST) on Thursday, after Liberal National Party (LNP) MP Ray Hopper defected to its ranks on the weekend." 122.108.156.100 (talk) 13:07, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
