Green Party keeps the voters guessing
by Scott Gilbreath ~ May 27th, 2009
The Green Party lives up to its usual standards of organisation in the Nova Scotia election campaign.
You can be forgiven if you can’t keep track of who’s running for the Green party.
The party has been grappling with candidates pulling out at the last minute in many ridings. These include:
•Guysborough-Sheet Harbour. The party’s website recently listed Tony Larue as the candidate, but the official list released Tuesday by Elections Nova Scotia names Amy Florian.
• Halifax Chebucto. Jeff Herbert dropped out, and was replaced by Chris Hanlon.
•Hants East. Michael Hartlen withdrew as the candidate. Emerich Winkler appears on the official list.
•Preston. The original candidate was David Smith, replaced by Sarah Densmore.
• Richmond. John Percy has taken over from Trina MacDonald.
N.S. Green leader Ryan Watson admits that his party has a problem.
“We have to build the organizational strength and continuity so that we can hit the ground running next time.”
This time, they’re just hitting the ground.
