Vision Montreal pushing for the anglo vote

Vision Montreal is hoping to appeal to anglo Montrealers  in time for the next election.

Louise Harel said that her party lacked the anglophone vote in the last municipal election.

She said Vision Montreal plans on seeking out English-speaking candidates to join their party as a way to improve their demographics.

Harel made these statements in an interview with Radio-Canada Thursday morning.

CBC News reported that Harel also recently announced she’ll officially be running for mayor in 2013.

Municipal elections are scheduled for this November.

The Union Montreal party has held the office for over a decade.
