It well know among, some New Democracts for a long time that the Greens were just front for the Liberal Party under Elizabeth May, they use Elizabeth May to attack the NDP undermining their vote, but she rarely goes after Liberals and in fact builds close relationships with Liberal Leaders. With the Liberals, in power her work is done, there is little for Emay to do.

She certainly had more energy than most and a good deal more than I could have mustered. Yet the Green guns do seem to have fallen silent other than the odd press release. With the NDP in disarray and the Libs incapable of meeting the environmental challenges of the day there doesn't seem to be any party willing to lead on climate change.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-27921245090472921442017-12-15T16:43:52.705-08:002017-12-15T16:43:52.705-08:00Seems obvious that May and her party have given up...Seems obvious that May and her party have given up the good fight, Mound.Lornehttp://www.politicsanditsdiscontents.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-77054460389270003142017-12-15T15:54:43.708-08:002017-12-15T15:54:43.708-08:00She doesn't seem too keen on leading the party...She doesn't seem too keen on <a href="https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/politics/may-issues-grades-on-trudeau-government-plans-to-stay-on-as-leader-in-2019-1.3660415" rel="nofollow">leading the party</a>:<br /><br /><i>It’s becoming increasingly likely May will face off against the other federal party leaders, as leader of the Green Party in the 2019 election. May is currently the only member of the Green Party with a seat in the House of Commons. She is planning on running again in her Saanich-Gulf Islands riding, but said, if another Green Party MP is elected to Parliament before the next general election, and they are interested in leading the party, she’d be open to stepping aside.</i><br /><br />I guess that BDS fiasco got to her. Still, a two-year-old website is an embarrassment for a party that purports to be a credible federal party. <br /><br />CapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-46904156324268462722017-12-15T15:25:21.853-08:002017-12-15T15:25:21.853-08:00I emailed them.
