Have you ever watched the Olympics to find out who will win the silver medal in different categories?
Me neither.
But that’s what we’re going to do on Monday.
Let’s see the election results to see who will get second place.
That would be great suspense.
As with David Fonkinos’s last novel (Number two), tells what happened to the young actor who could have been Harry Potter if Daniel Radcliffe hadn’t turned up for the casting sessions.
A different voting system
We already know who it is, as Monday evening’s big winner is.
This is Francois Legault.
Even if he runs a very poor campaign, his party risks attracting only 37% of the vote, even if the polls say so.
Think about it: you can lead the rules of Quebec for four years and pass laws that will have a profound impact on the daily lives of all citizens, even though 63% of Quebecers (and, if you count those who didn’t. ‘Even) didn’t vote for you!
And then we wonder why so many people are not going to vote…
“Why am I going to vote if the candidate and party I support in my constituency have no chance of winning? »
We participate in the democratic process because our votes count.
It will weigh in the balance and make a difference.
Unfortunately, with our peculiar voting system, a political party can get 15% of the popular vote – which is very respectable – but end up with zero MPs in the National Assembly.
If more than six out of 10 Quebecers won’t vote for you, what is your legitimacy as prime minister?
The question is fair.
Opponents of the mixed proportional system say that the fragmentation of the vote would make it more difficult to elect a majority government and thus weaken Quebec’s position in negotiations with Ottawa.
François Legault led a large majority government for four years. Has this led to Ottawa paying more attention to Quebec’s demands?
As the PSPP recalls, Quebec made 21 demands to the federal government.
We had 21 rejections.
If 63% of voters refuse to vote for you, there has to be a reason, right?
The composition of the National Assembly should reflect this fact!
A happy shipwreck
On Wednesday, I said an order from the CAQ was like going around the pontoon.
No waves, no nausea.
I don’t know what happened during that campaign, there were a lot of people Coolers Got a grip? However, the CAQ pontoon met almost the same fate SS MinnowGilligan’s boat is supposed to be on a three-hour mini-journey, but the captain (Legald), the professor (Trineville), the millionaire (Fitzkippen), Mary Ann (Gilbald) and others are stranded on a desert island. Ginger (Saint-Hilaire).
No matter: CAQ wins that one.
Because one pontoon, even without a compass, can go faster than four boats.
