Green Party needs leader in Parliament to rebuild reputation, May says in debate
“Two egos at the top does not magically a grassroots organization make,” she said.
During a fraught discussion over how the party can fill its coffers again, with the national headquarters reportedly under threat and donors abandoning ship after a disappointing 2021 election result, Baron pointed to the elephant in the room.Simon Gnocchini-Messier, another independent candidate who pitched the Greens as forming part of a social democratic coalition in Parliament, pushed back on what he called “the narrative of mainstream media that we’re in constant internal strife.
May said there was a “mismatch” between Paul’s talents and “what a Green party leader should be,” but said she wants to see an investigation into the allegations of wrongdoing. More recent infighting led to the resignations of the party’s president and several other members of its leadership committee. After their departures, the party decided to truncate its leadership election process.
Instead of an initial plan to hold two rounds of voting, only one will take place, beginning this Saturday and culminating in the announcement of a new leader on Nov. 19.
