      only to become what amounts to a political practical joke

      Why? Because Pedneault decided to stick to principles rather than capitulate and join a big tent party?

      First-past-the-post is the joke not Jonathan Pedneault. It’s dirty to attack the small parties when the liberals and conservatives hold too much power.

        The joke is being co-leader of a party. The greens consistently show that they aren’t actually serious about forming government

        I find it hard myself to find him a serious option when he is co-leader with May as if he’s her young apprentice or something. May either needs to keep leadership or step down.

        To me it’s just a bad look.

            It’s not just that, but how would co-leader even work? Will May be calling the shots? Or Him? What if they disagree on something?
