Progressive Conservatives and Provincial Election

Don Desserud: The inexperience is well distributed, said Don Desserud, a political science professor at the University of Prince Edward Island in Charlottetown, according to The Chronicle Herald. Neither one can claim an advantage as a consequence. Just two months after assuming their leadership roles, Wade Mac Lauchlan of the Liberal party and Rob Lantz of the Progressive Conservatives will have those roles put to the test in the provincial election May 4. So basically it taken the issue right out of the campaign. None of the party leaders hold seats in the legislature and only the Green party Peter Bevan-Baker has experience running as a candidate in a provincial election. The NDP and Green party have also taken on new leaders since P.E.I. held its last provincial election in 2011. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
