Ha! Elizabeth May was elected as our leader and she is the spokesperson for the party. The Greens are not centralized; it’s the members that direct the party. The leader is simply the spokesperson.

To imply that Elizabeth May could or would ‘adopt positions that are too extreme’ is to show that the author of this article is trying to create the tension that any good op/ed piece needs in order to be well read. It got my attention… but it’s not based in reality. We’re actually all a big team here and we’re all on the same page.

Having a platform that covers all issues doesn’t divert attention away from environmental issues as the author suggests. The Green Party has a platform that covers all issues and as we can all see it’s now getting the attention it deserves.

Go E go!!!
