I think it was more May's refusal to run in a winnable riding that did them in. She should have simply ran where Green Party support was highest in the prior election and used her higher national profile to push herself past the tipping point. Then she'd have had a national platform to push herself and her party (the HoC, Question Period etc. etc.). Instead she's run in a riding where her chances of winning are marginal at best.
