Impressive bio, only to become what amounts to a political practical joke

only to become what amounts to a political practical joke

Why? Because Pedneault decided to stick to principles rather than capitulate and join a big tent party?

First-past-the-post is the joke not Jonathan Pedneault. It’s dirty to attack the small parties when the liberals and conservatives hold too much power.

The joke is being co-leader of a party. The greens consistently show that they aren't actually serious about forming government

Name a country that has 2 leaders in the same position

New Zealand: Te Pati Mãori Party

Germany: Left Party

I find it hard myself to find him a serious option when he is co-leader with May as if he's her young apprentice or something. May either needs to keep leadership or step down.

To me it's just a bad look.

That is a poor excuse to look down at someone. Look at their character and track record instead.

It's not just that, but how would co-leader even work? Will May be calling the shots? Or Him? What if they disagree on something?
