What she would have said got more coverage than if the Cons had allowed her to speak. And their thuggish crass behaviour only made the look even more like beasts.

The Greens need official party status so they can speak out on behalf of the people who vote for them. To do other wise is extremely undemocratic. Oh, right its the Cons, yes, not just Conservative Party of Canada but Convicts and perhaps about to be Convicts. the federal Conservative party looks like a Hells Angels chapter and that is no disrespect to the H.A. It is the Conservatives who like to say the Hells Angels are a criminal organization but the Conservatives have about as many convicted, up for trial, or charges as some bad H.A. chapters. So what is worse the federal Conservatives or the Hell's Angels. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-9220194788040185432015-03-25T16:37:37.428-04:002015-03-25T16:37:37.428-04:00Elizabeth May as an MP for The Green Party, should...Elizabeth May as an MP for The Green Party, should not have to get permission to speak from anyone.
