Voters looking for a party (in recovery)

(Posted December 13, 2008)


According to the CEO, on December 8, 2548720 Quebec voters abstained from voting or canceled their vote. They are more likely than liberals (1,362,801) and PQ (1,139,185) together. There should be a coalition more ADQ PLQ + PQ or PV or QS claim to have a majority in parliament.

Politicians and writers / editors were quickly swept under the carpet the abstainers on the pretext that democracy abstention is not an option. It's an easy argument to feel good and justify the legitimacy of a government that represents less than 24% of voters.

Why vote when neither party represents my values? I would only perpetuate the illusion that government can legitimately speak on my behalf, which is not the case. Some say he had to cancel my vote. It's a stupid argument. Is the one who cancels his vote will be better represented in parliament?

I'll go vote when the list went on to defend some of the values I think:

• I want a party leader who believes in his program who take the trouble to explain. I am tired of party leaders who say that and its opposite in the same sentence;

• I do not want a party leader who vies with the artists. TLMEP this is not a news show is a spectacle;

• Quebec needs a party that commits to put an end to monopolies and to foster a competitive system in all spheres of government: health, education, SAQ, etc.;.

• Quebec is a society regulated hyper. It is essential to update, simplify and reduce regulation in all areas: taxation, labor market, trade, environment, etc.;.

• Grant programs businesses, costing billions annually and are mostly ineffective. They should be phased out in favor of lower taxation and simplified;

• The perverse effects of the apparent free government services threatens their survival. The rate of taxation of individuals should be greatly reduced in favor of pricing services at fair prices;

• officials must serve the people and not vice versa. They must abandon the role of "troublemaker" and become facilitators who guide the citizens and businesses through the complexities of laws and rules.

More than two million voters are expecting a party and a leader capable of cutting the umbilical cord that keeps them dependent on the nanny state. It is a prerequisite for Quebeckers realize their full potential.
