Election in Quebec

Enough of me picking on the UN, there are enough people doing that. What we should be talking about is the shockah for the Quebecois. a Liberal minority with the right wing federalists ADQ being the official opposition. If you have not caught them here are the results.

There are many different faces to this, is it reactionary racism, a backlash to a weak PQ leader, or maybe people are just fed up with Mr Charest.

There is always the other view, that Harper and his latest budget, supported by the separatists, did the PQ in. This combined with a flat PQ party in Quebec may just have all the opposition parties doing some colluding just to keep the CPC in power. The NDP fears the Greens (at 9% in the latest poll), the Liberals and the BQ fear the ADQ helping the CPC in Quebec.

As a conservative, I was underwhelmed by this budget. I expected more fiscal responsibility, not more spending, perhaps I am a Liberal at heart. I guess I may have to vote for them in the next election.

Just to finish this rambling off, maybe I should vote NDP to avoid the NAU. I may have to spend some time learning about this union before I start another shortwinded article.

Is it just me, or does Stéphane Dion have all the charisma of a soggy cracker?
