‘It shows that the Green Party brand is on the political menu for Canadians’ he said.
Voters in Nanaimo-Ladysmith may have wondered if a by-election so near to this fall’s federal vote was worth the trip to the ballot box. But their decision to send a Green MP to Parliament – the second seat for the party – is being taken seriously by political parties, commentators and citizens as an indication of the Greens’ rise to mainstream politics.
“The Nanos polling suggests that the Greens eat the lunch of both the Liberals and the New Democrats – that for disappointed Liberals, or New Democrats who are not as enthusiastic about [leader] Jagmeet Singh, they’re looking at the Greens as an alternative to both of the other traditional parties.” “I’m saddened that Bob Chamberlin, who is an outstanding candidate for the NDP, was not successful,” he said. “But I believe that the message that was sent to Ottawa by the people of Nanaimo is that in the by-election, people have an opportunity to make a statement, and they made a statement.”
