Elizabeth May looks to grow the Green Party as she returns to leadership, with help
The Green Party’s Elizabeth May is keeping her attention on climate action and on internal growth after disappointing results during her brief hiatus as party leader.
“There’s widespread support within the membership for the co-leadership model,” May said in an interview this week. She called her time working with Pedneault a “completely different experience” than her previous tenure as leader from 2006 to 2019. Pedneault is planning to seek a Quebec seat in the next federal election, likely in Montreal, where the party favours running a candidate. The Greens, who currently hold two seats in the House of Commons — May in British Columbia and Mike Morrice in Ontario — have never won in Quebec.Support for Greens dropped to 2.3 per cent of the popular vote during the 2021 election, held under former leader Annamie Paul.
With May’s time away from the leadership in the rear-view mirror, the party is now rebuilding and refocusing on issues like health care, inflation and a green energy transition. He said the party will also continue advocating for a guaranteed livable income, food security, and transitioning the economy away from fossil fuels while providing support for workers.
