Elizabeth May is one of the sharpest tools in the Federal political shed and could easily be a major mover and shaker once she gets a seat and a little experience.

If May becomes a free agent, the Liberals should make every effort to get her on their teem, before say the NDP decide to go after her.

Given the importance of Global Warming and its re-establishment as a top concern for Canadians and given the Liberal number at the polls seems to be tied to the Green Party numbers, a Green Party in disarray could actually be the best thing that could happen for the Liberals in the near future. Keep in mind Mr. Stephen Harper your incredibly partizan and self-serving tenet 'losers don't form governments'.

May's statement: “I’d rather have no Green seats and Stephen Harper lose than a full caucus that stares across the floor at Stephen Harper as prime minister” expresses the realities of the current political constellation and emphasizes the seriousness and harm of having Stephen Harper and the Con's continue to rule.

Not only should everyone in the Green Party and their supporters consider this very seriously but all the almost 2/3 of Canadians that voted against Harper in the last election. Harper and the Cons have done great harm to Canada both Internationally and domestically and will do much more of allowed to continue.

May's statement reflects the reality that we, the people, allow Harper to remain in power and it is only we, the people, that can get rid of him.
