Ms. May thinks that influence could even get the Conservatives to drop their dyed-in-the-wool opposition to carbon taxes if it means the difference for them between governing or spending more time in opposition.
That's an incredibly stupid thing to say. A minority Conservative government would be unable to get rid of the carbon tax anyway. She's saying she would be willing to ally the Greens with the Conservatives against the Liberals and NDP, for nothing. This is a gift to the Liberals and the NDP and I hope they pick up on it.
