Disgruntled Greens Call For E. May's Head

Now that the website is down...

You may have missed the posted email that EMay's daughter sent to swing ridings. Essentially asking if they would be willing to discuss "the options" available to ensure that the anti=con vote wasn't split and the cons didn't win.

So tell me again there was no GD deal between Dion and May.

I have no idea if there was a deal between the GPC and the LPC - given the reaction of the Greens I think not. Clearly there was an understanding between Dion and May because May threw her candidates, volunteers and supporters under the bus.

I would have had less of an issue if they had been honest from the get go. At least then the farce of having May in the debate could have been dealt with easily enough.

In the end the Dion May deal hurt the Liberals more than any other party so Dion will have his comeuppance and May will likely be turfed so she will have hers (and she won't get the senate and the enviro ministry she so wanted).

Why should anyone do that? Right in the next sentence you write:

Christ, the Dippers are now hissing at Liberals for talking about Greens.

You came fourth. Get over it.

Ti-Guy - i am not hissing at liberals but I read the countless blogs denying that Dion and May had a deal clearly all evidence points to the contrary. I wrote that this deal may not have gone beyond the two players because it has also become apparent that this might not be the case given the Greens reaction. Backroom types in the LPC, may well have been in on the deal.

Would I have preferred more seats - of course. But I see the NDP on the rise and the fact that the NDP did not bleed support to the libs shows that more and more progressive voters are not being fooled by the LPC.

Work clearly needs to be done in Ontario but I think that next time around (no matter the leader of the LPC) the NDP will do just fine thank you.

Lizzie sold out her party's best interests - she should be sacked.

I know a lot of Greens who think she is a turd, a traitor, a vendu and should be gone.

Hurray!

So what are doing here, screeching and shrieking? That doesn't sound very optimistic.

Ah, so the Greens are looking for a leader that will put party first, country second? Hmmm, I wonder if Jack Layton has a brother.

Now Jenn's screeching about Liberals over at Macleans. And her favourite Prime Minister was Joe Clark.

Get some grief therapy, Jenn.

Thank God for the NDP, or we'd be stuck with these people.

Imagine that,reminds me of all the Liberal's out to get Dion.Nothing like closing ranks and showing a little party loyalty.I believe they call that quaint notion principles/scruples.
