Herb DickiesonDr. Herb Dickieson led the Island New Democrats in the 1996 and 2000 provincial elections and was the first and still only member of the NDP, or any third party, to have sat in the Prince Edward Island legislature winning a seat in 1996 and holding it for one term until he was narrowly defeated in the 2000 provincial election. Dickieson led the party through the 1990s but resigned after his personal electoral defeat. Dickieson was popular during his term even amongst non-New Democrats as a voice for change and was pressured by many members to run for the New Democratic Party of Canada in the 2004 Canadian election.
