Green party overlooked

I commend The Lance for its latest election issue, clearly attempting to educate the students about some candidates and reminding them to vote.

However, after what seemed an insurmountable cause for the Green Party to have its leader participate in the leaders’ debate, not to mention with the thousands Canadians who pressured the politicians and the media in this cause, The Lance failed to place Elizabeth May’s picture on the cover along with the other leaders.

Present polls suggest the Green Party has around 13 per cent of national support.

The Lance should follow in the footsteps of the major Canadian TV networks in recognizing the legitimate and significant position of the Green Party in Canadian politics.
