And congrats to all the first-time voters!!!!
Re: the ADQ.
Okay, I actually had to look them up because, even though they're our official opposition party here in Quebec, this is the first time they've had more than, like, five MNAs. So their policies have been a little fluid, historically.
And what I've found's been rather confuzzling.
They seem to be a bit like the Republican party down south, only without the big-business base. Essentially, they're the embodiment of what Liberalism (the political ideology) is all about. They believe in small government, in free-market economy, and in autonomous decision-making. In other words, they aren't sovereignist, but they believe in building up Quebec's autonomy from Canada.
So that would put them pretty much at the far right of the political spectrum in Quebec.
Which is good to know. | Yeah. I'm also unsure of how they'd get around fraud too. Like you said it would just create more and more problems. So I have no problem getting off my butt and going to vote.
Thanks for the info on the ADQ. From what you've said it seems like they're a mix of Liberal and Conservative? And when you said 5 MNAs what do you mean by that?
It's generally been either the PQ or the Liberals in power in Quebec correct?
Not sure when the debate is but I don't think it has past yet.
Ledi, sorry to hear you can't vote  __________________ Willow: That's what it was! I mean, why else would she be acting like such a b-i-t-c-h? Giles: Willow, I think we're all a little too old to be spelling things out. Xander: A bitca?Icon: secretlyevileen |
