Canada is holding a Parliamentary election on May 2. According to this article, a poll suggests that the Green Party’s candidate in one particular district in British Columbia is leading. If the Green Party’s candidate, Elizabeth May, wins, that will be the first time the Green Party has elected anyone to the Canadian Parliament.
The results show that 44.5% of the voters intend to vote for May or are leaning toward her; 37.8% for the Conservative Party nominee (the incumbent); 9.1% for the New Democratic Party nominee; and 8.5% for the Liberal Party nominee.
Lots of MINORITY rule party hack legislators elected in Canada and the U.K. — due to gerrymander/plurality — aka FPTP — with the resulting EXTREME party hack machinations — esp. coalitions, no confidence stuff, etc.
— i.e. about 20-25 percent ANTI-Democracy for 1 or more party hack extremist gangs to rule the regime.
P.R. and App.V.
Do NOT be surprised if Canada SHATTERS — west, central, Quebec, east. See the Balkans.
It wouldn’t be so bad if Canada broke apart.
‘Bob Says: It wouldn’t be so bad if Canada broke apart.’
That’s been a recurring dream of mine for the last decade. I’m running a 4 state alliance in the east.
Elizabeth May is the Green Party’s leader. That’s a pretty big piece of information.
I don’t know why you left it out.
Also, this is an internal poll.
Additionally, she has run in the previous two elections in two different provinces and she lost each time. The last time she actually had the BACKING OF THE LIBERAL PARTY and she still lost.
I know exactly what you left those facts out.
Anyway, despite my known distaste for your babying of the Canadian Green Party, I think May will probably win.
Not because of this poll but because of the anti-two party system mood of the voters.
Also, it looks like Peter McKay, the former Progressive Conservative Party leader who May couldn’t defeat even with the Liberals backing her, will probably lose to an Ndipper, and that’s with a Liberal on the ballot.
