The Green Party And Political Savvy

Watching CBC news last night there was a piece on the decision to not allow Elizabeth May to speak at the debates. In one clip she was shown shouting across the street to a supporter ;

"It's actually doing me a favour because it's getting me sympathy!"

Some advice- if you are gaining sympathy for a supposed wrong then you don't go shouting about how good that is, especially not in the street, and especially not with cameras on you. When the cameras are on you then you retain your sense of outrage.

The Green Party needs to show not just how earnest it is but also that it can be competent. So far, not so good.
