Former Green Party Leader Elizabeth May stays silent at Annamie Paul’s wishes; non-confidence vote this week no longer happening
Elizabeth May made it clear that there was little she could say about the situation facing the party, and has largely kept silent during ongoing internal conflicts.Green Party Leader Annamie Paul will not face a non-confidence vote this week that could have led to her being ousted from her role as a federal election looms.
Meanwhile, former Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said in an interview with The Globe and Mail on Sunday that she is avoiding comment on the turmoil facing the party she led for 13 years because Ms. Paul has asked her not to talk to media about the issue. Ms. May declined comment on her views on Ms. Paul’s request that she not talk to the media, detailed aspects of the party’s troubles, and whether she continues to be as supportive of Ms. Paul.
There have also been reports that Green Party executives have moved towards suspending Ms. Paul’s membership in her own party.”As a party, we have a very strong commitment to grassroots governance and the highest authority in the party is not the leader, it’s the membership,” she said.“So if things go poorly you’re going to be blamed even though you don’t have any power or authority from the beginning.
