The Green party is not a serious party. Despite higher voter turnout they actually got less votes this time around - by a significant margin. Yes, they did elect Crazy Liz to a seat, but largely because they threw all their money and effort at the one riding, virtually ignoring every other riding in the country.

Much like Layton, it will be interesting to see what Crazy Liz does in the next 4 years.
