I don't care for May, but it's still a huge accomplishment. If she's effective she could build that one seat into more next time around....it's no small feat really.

If I remember right from the last election her share of the popular vote dropped after the debate in the last election, so I don't really buy that.
The Green Party campaign outside of her home riding was non existent as was their advertising compared to her last election because all resources were placed in her home riding.
I would think that she's going to have a hard time holding onto her seat in the next election, and her ranting that because she's a woman and a party leader that she should get preferential treatment in the house will get her nowhere.
