The leader of Green party, Elizabeth May, made a proud announce today, declaring that her party has demonstrated strength in Monday’s three federal byelections. She alleged that it has illustrated that Greens are truly gripped on the federal political scene.
May asserted that tough competitions was given by Greens, and this has ultimately increased the need for the NDP, Liberals and Greens to “start talking to each other” for avoiding vote splitting in future elections. Mary previously attempted to cooperate with another party before the recent byelections, but was rejected.
The Green party was barely kept from winning over the incumbent NDP in a byelection in Victoria, where it had 34 per cent of the vote, compared to 37 per cent for the New Democrats. Greens also put up a better than expected third-place finish in Calgary Centre (with 26 per cent of the vote), though the seat was retained by the Conservatives.
May alleged that her party has done “remarkably well” in the byelections and implied the Greens can be competitive anywhere in Canada. May told the reporters that “I hope it says, ‘Look the Greens have arrived.” She claimed that “we’re serious across the country in very different kinds of ridings, in an urban professional oilpatch riding of Calgary, or in a more traditional older demographic of people who are against pipelines and tankers in Victoria. In two very different kinds of ridings, Green party surge was a key factor in both elections and that’s something that’s a take-home. We’ve arrived.”
