FYI: Quebec Election Night
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_...election,_2012
As befitting a democracy there are twenty (20) parties. Two of them are missing a leader and one has no candidates running but it's the thought that counts.
Liberal: Jean Charest
Parti Québécois: Pauline Marois
Coalition Avenir Québec: François Legault
Québec solidaire: Françoise David and/or Amir Khadir
Option nationale: Jean-Martin Aussant
Independent: Looks like they're missing a leader.
Green: Claude Sabourin
Coalition pour la constituante: Marc Fafard
Conservative: Luc Harvey
Marxist-Leninist: Pierre Chénier
Quebec Citizens' Union: Alexis St-Gelais
Autonomist Team: Guy Boivin
Unité Nationale: Paul Biron
Parti indépendantiste: Michel Lepage
Parti nul: Renaud Blais (A)
Middle Class: Jean Lavoie
Bloc Pot: Hugô St-Onge (B)
Quebec – Democratic Revolution: Robert Genesse
Equitable: Yvan Rodrigue
Independent Option nationale: Another party missing a leader.
(A) The Parti Nul: Mathieu Marcil gets a lot of puzzled looks and smiles when he tells people he's running in the Quebec election for an outfit called the Parti nul — which translates loosely as the "nothing," or "void," party." A true Quebec entrepreneur he wants all the spoiled/void ballots to be counted as a vote for his party. I'm betting he winters in Florida (think: hanging chads).
(B) The Bloc Pot is a political party in the province of Quebec, Canada, that is dedicated to ending cannabis prohibition and setting the ground for a more sensible and comprehensive drug policy. Since 1998, the Bloc Pot has contested two general elections and several by-elections. In 2000, its members helped launch the Marijuana Party of Canada in order to lobby the federal government more efficiently."
Then there's the regular communists and the separatists and.....well, there's something for everyone.
"May your reality be as pleasant as mine."
