I haven't been following the campaign too closely, mostly because I find the partisan electioneering that goes on during campaigns rather nauseating. I watch a lot of Question Period and tend to base my political opinions and voting decisions more on what goes on between elections than during elections. So I didn't watch the debate and find this thread more interesting than I probably would have found the debate itself.
I have two comments based on the debate coverage in this thread. One is that I'm disappointed but not surprised by May's performance. I'm a fiscal conservative with a strong environmental concern, and I think the Greens have a role to play as an opposition voice. Not the official opposition by any means, but their voice in Commons I think would serve a purpose. But May sounds like she's proving to be the idiot I thought she would be ever since she was elected leader of the Greens. Too bad ... the Greens could have made some gains in this election I think, had they chosen a better leader.
And the other comment is, when is Harper going to start calling the Green Shift the Greenback Shift, like it actually is?
