The real thrill of the opposition

Have you ever watched the Olympics to see who will win the silver medal in the different categories?

neither do I.

But that’s what we’ll do on Monday.

We will look at the election results to see who comes second.

This will be a great thrill.

As in the last novel by David Foinkinos (number two), which tells what happened to the young actor who would have been Harry Potter if Daniel Radcliffe had not attended the casting sessions.

Strange voting mode

Because the big winner on Monday night, we already know who he is.

It’s Francois Legault.

Even if he campaigns very poorly, and even if polls say his party risks attracting only 37% of the vote.

Think about this: You could direct the fates of Quebecers for four years and pass laws that would have a profound impact on the daily lives of all citizens, even if 63% of Quebecers (and more, if you count those who didn’t. Don’t even come) vote for you!

Next, we wonder why so many people don’t vote…

“Why should I bother going to the vote if the candidate and the party I support have no chance of winning in my constituency?”

We participate in the democratic process because we feel that our vote matters.

They weigh in the scale and can make a difference.

Unfortunately, with our strange voting system, any political party can get 15% of the popular vote – which is very honorable – but end up without deputies in the National Assembly.

What is your legitimacy as prime minister if no more than six in 10 Quebecers vote for you?

The question is correct.

Opponents of the mixed proportional system say that splitting the vote would make it very difficult to elect a majority government, thus weakening Quebec’s position in its negotiations with Ottawa.

François Legault led a large majority government for four years. Has this led to Ottawa being more attentive to Quebec’s requests?

As the PSPP states, Quebec has submitted 21 applications to the federal government.

We received 21 rejections.

And if 63% of voters refuse to vote for you, there must be a reason, right?

The composition of the National Assembly must reflect this fact!

happy ship

On Wednesday, you said that authorization from the CAQ is like going around a pontoon.

No waves and no nausea.

I don’t know what happened during that campaign, was there a lot coolers I’m waiting? However, the floating CAQ almost suffered the same fate SS MenuGilligan’s boat that was supposed to be on a small three-hour cruise, but ended up on a desert island with Captain Legault, Professor Drinville, millionaire Fitzgibbon, Mary Ann (Guilbolt) and Ginger (St. Helier). ).

It doesn’t matter: CAQ will win the same.

Because the pontoon, even without a compass, goes faster than four boats.
