Green Party still has no chance
Posted in Politics on July 20th, 2010 by Sacha PeterI notice with amusement that the Green Party of Canada apparently has a party constitutional requirement for a leadership race every four years. 2010 is a leadership year.
Apparently Elizabeth May is trying to get this requirement changed, but there are party members that are disagreeing with this and want to replace May.
I will say this (March 2009) and say it again (August 2009): As long as Elizabeth May is leader, the Green Party of Canada will never win a seat in Parliament.
Bernard Schulmann and Greg Morrow have some further thoughts on the issue – especially the Morrow article, which explains all of the mass resignations and staffing changes that have gone on in the party over the past bit. It has long since been clear that Elizabeth May is driving the party into the ground and that the only way that the party will continue receiving votes in elections is just through sheer inertia of the “Green” name as opposed to anything the organization is doing to attract voters.
