The Red Green Show goes on.

Elizabeth May is getting uncomfortable with her job as a Green party leader. She complains that a $50,000 salary is too small and that her job schedule is exhausting. To make things worse, the party's former interim executive-director David Scrymgeour, who is urging the party to slash spending and eliminate its debt, suggests that she steps down from the budget review committee.

A party leader having no say on the budget? I guess some in the Green party's ruling council are upset with May's leadership even more than May is upset with her salary. But would she fight for her job?
"I should also add that if council decided to remove me from the budget committee, I would have a hard time staying on as leader," May wrote in the e-mail obtained by the Vancouver Sun.
So far it looks like voters in Central Nova are going to have a Liberal candidate after all. That will be Elizabeth May.
