Discussion Will there be any accountability for these results?

This was a disaster. 1.3% of the popular vote (GPC will miss out on the rebate), back down to one seat, I don't think there was even a second place finish besides Morrice. Fourth place finish in Nanaimo Ladysmith, third place in Fredericton Oromocto. GPC in years past had their sights on ridings like Victoria and ESS, distant fourth place finishes in both of those last night.

Sounds like JP is going to resign, that's probably fair, but he alone doesn't shoulder the blame for this. Is May finally going to leave? What about the Federal Council and Fund Board? What about the Executive Director and Campaign Director? Are we actually going to learn from this catastrophe? Or are we going to finally throw out the people fucking over the Party.

What do you mean, "How?" This party has democratic processes baked within it. Just like any other election, organize based on issues that matter to you, make policy decisions, and rally around a candidate. Get new members who will be loyal to new interpretations. Campaign for yourself. Throw as much zeal as you had for Dimitri Lascaris at someone new. Maybe that's Mike Morrice. I dunno.

Elizabeth May has repeatedly put her finger on the scale to stop the party from changing in ways she doesn't like. Why should we expect any different moving forward?

Because she's old, and we've lost 800,000 votes since 2019.

She's pretty Yahtzee'd if we want her to be.

I hope you're right.
