Lizzie May - All Hail, Stephen the First
Now the Green Party has a spokesperson in Parliament. The fascist MSM will be granting her more interviews than than the entire rest of the opposition combined. Result that 4% Green vote this time becomes 15% next time. 40 Con, 15 Green, 20 Lib, 20 NDP, 5 PQ in perpetuity.
