Representation

There is something to be said about minority governments. On Monday, here in Quebec we will be faced with a provincial election. The results look quite polarized. Urban Montreal will vote Liberal, the countryside will vote ADQ and what's left of the hard line separatists will vote PQ. Most likely there will be a Liberal minority gov't and things will get pretty ugly in parliament during the next few years. This is good for all of us in a way because the ruling government can impose idiotic legislation that alienates a large section of the population without the support of an opposition party whos best interest it is to not let that happen.

Seems to have worked pretty well federally, turning the nasty ex-reform conservatives to warm fuzzy conserva-liberals. Lets see what Monday brings us.
