    Altho I am not a green party supporter Ithink that the media is way out of line as are the other leaders for excluding Ms May from the debate. She at least represent a party that feilds candidates accross the country unlike the phoney federal party from PQ

    Have you seen the posters for her other candidates? The ones here show a large picture of May and in the foreground about 2/3s the side is the candidate for the riding. The greens might run in ridings across the country, but we all know they mean spit since May is the only one being campaigned for.

    May's pathetic bid for relevance is a sad spectacle.

    If May wants to see a sad spectacle she need look no farther than the closest mirror.

    The only thing that would have made it even sadder would have been to have her enormous ego and incessant whining on the stage too.

    The sad spectacle is her platform and election results.

    How so? Green got nearly as many votes as the Bloc. Just far less seats, thanks to FPTP.

    In a population of 30+ million, May got 937,000 votes.

    In a population of 7.7 million (they only run in Quebec), Duceppe got 1.38 million votes..

    Not even close.
