It's not this election that is important... it's the NEXT one.
The people of Quebec are sick of Jean Charest and want to kick him out. Currently the main alternative is the PQ, who you must admit have proven to be able to get the most for the people of Quebec. There is the CAQ, but it looks like they will end up in 3rd place.
But next election the NDP plan on running candidates provincially. Will they be able to take down the PQ provincially the way they did federally? I certainly hope so. And before people go squawking about how the NDP would be a financial disaster far worse than the horrible governments Quebec has seen in the past, there have been plenty of examples of well-run NDP governments at the provincial level.
I am hoping that this election here will be a minority government because we all know they don't last very long. Like I said, the next election should be more interesting than this one. This one is just about getting Jean Charest out of the premier's seat.
