Saanich-Gulf Islands and my riding of Victoria were the Greens' two most successful ridings in 2004 but both were huge disappointments this year. Ariel Lade in my riding went from a second best in Canada of 11.7% down to a disappointing 8.1%. And Andrew Lewis went from a Canada best of 16.7% all the way down to 9.9%.
