Comments on: Only 7 more days of coverage http://wolfangel.calltherain.net/archives/2007/03/19/only-7-more-days-of-coverage/ this is a wolf angel & it eats the people it's supposed to help. A wolf angel is not a good angel to have looking out for you.

Charest is really in a position to ride this out with a victory simply by virtue of being the least scary candidate. I am tempted by QS - a strongly feminist party is appealing enough to not be off-putting in their separatist leanings. ADQ is creepy, but they are doing a decent job of excluding themselves from the race, one stupid comment at a time. *sigh* Elections are depressing.

What do they mean by "some form of proportional representation"? Plus, of course, the separatism. But generally, they're too light on details for a serious party. The Greens are light on details, but they're not serious in the same way. I'm surprised at how the ADQ is losing its support. And upset -- I don't care what kind of creepy they are, we need to have more than the two parties we have.

I thought they hadn't got around to deflating just yet, though. The Green candidate in my riding has actually held elected office. Not that he's going to be elected under this banner. I'm planning to vote for him. Looks like proportional representation is stalling again in Quebec, but it's got to happen one of these years...

I don't think they'll deflate to zero, I just hope they continue to hold on to 20 or so seats, forcing a minority government. The ADQ has never been this effective a party, though.
