Their object is io gain a spot in the speaking and voting or- der in the House from which they can rock the boat but not be accused of capsizing it. The boat in this case is the Conservative government's ten- ure: of office, which could be ended by all three opposition parties--Liberal, Social Credit and New Democratic--combin- ing their voting strength against the government on a non-confidence motion.

But NDP party whip Stanley Knowles argues that the speak. ing spot immediately after the official opposition , belongs to the parity whose members have greatest seniority of service in the commons. Jn that basis, the New Dem- ocrats qualify with their MPs, whose length of Commons ser- vice ranges from thre to 15 sessions.
