Red Light, Green Light: The Dion-May Story

h/t Alberta Ardvark for the Red Green reference to the political courtship between Liberal leader Stephane Dion and Green Party leader Elizabeth May.

What's interesting about this is that, within their own parties, they have been criticized for this very type of juxtapositioning.

Some Liberal insiders believe Dion has positioned himself too far left while May has been accused of not being green enough.

Instead of red, one could label Stephane Dion red light and May green light, as opposed to green.

May, in fact has come under fire in the recent weeks for her overtures of Praise for Dion but it obviously hasn't phased her, which has to be, now, a festering sore spot with her own grass roots.

For her own part on Environmental Policy, it seems she doesn't know what she wants even when she sees it.

In all, despite the optical kiss-blowing between the two, the lack of stability within their own ranks because of this cannot be good for either of them.
