Fortunately, they can't possibly form the next government, but they could put pressure on for ever higher levels of government spending. I suppose if a person is enjoying their welfare and other benefits, who cares about the country as a whole. I'm sure this is the same thinking of many in Canada, too (such as medicare, etc). The thing is, though, eventually it could all come crashing down (Gernamy's welfare system that is). In the same vein, I'm not holding my breath about getting a pension from the Canadian government, either, so am making my own provisions for it and hoping they don't try to tax my savings all away to pay for those who haven't tried to save a dime for their retirement.
