Political Parties and Peter Bevan-Baker

Peter Bevan-Baker: P.E.I. has only once elected a member to their Legislative Assembly from outside the two dominant political parties -- the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives, according to Rabble. Popular Green Party Leader Peter Bevan-Baker may double that number on Monday night. None of the four political party leaders vying to become the Island next premier have won a seat in provincial government. The dentist, writer, musician and public speaker is polling first in his riding of Kellys Cross/Cumberland. P.E.I. plagued by scandals, but all parties promise "accountability" Wade Mac Lauclan, former president of the University of P.E.I. and P.E.I. Premier since Feb. 23, spent his first week as Premier dealing with a scandal that involved the secret and failed attempt of the former Robert Ghiz government to earn millions in revenue through regulating online gambling. The Liberal lead has been diminishing since Rob Lantz, a Charlottetown city councillor, was elected leader of the Progressive Conservative party on Feb. 28. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
