Island MLA Andrew Weaver has been named as leader of the BC Green Party.
He’s replacing Adam Olsen, who’s been the party’s interim leader since August 2013.
Weaver says the party will help fill a void in provincial politics – given the lack of middle ground between the NDP and Liberals. He says there’s a “pendulum swing from the left to the right”.
Weaver says the party has a lot of work to do to prepare for the provincial election in 2017, but he’s optimistic, especially given their growing membership over the years.
