People who say they want a "left-federalist" option do have to confront this reality, though:There is actually such a party in Quebec...Le Parti Verte du Quebec.
If there is a huge potential support base for a left-federalist party, why is it that THAT party(which now describes itself as "ecosocialist", has been totally unable to gain any significant level of support at all?
Hi Ken!
The Parti Vert (not "Verte") is not federalist. To its credit, it takes no position on the independence of Québec. It welcomes both "federalists" and "sovereignists" to join. In the event of a referendum, it states that elected members (if any), candidates, and members will be free to vote according to their conscience.
I like that position. But calling it "federalist" is false.
Let me know if you need a reference.
Thank you for the information(I'll correct the spelling in my post). Perhaps that might be a way forward for QS...to take a neutral stance on the constitutional situation in the same way as Les Verts do.
Not sure why some people here are so obsessed treating sovereigntism as if it is something evil. It's simply a political orientation some people have in Quebec. No good would come of forcing anyone to renounce it or insisting on formally destroying it.
