What is new in Quebec ?

Recently, Mr. Lucien Bouchard, the designated leader of the Parti Québécois and Prime Minister was deceived by the support received by the party supporters. At first sight, you would think 76% is an impressive support but if you consider the absence of opponents than you might understand Mr. Bouchard drastic reaction.

His partial absence form the national congress floor following that vote was viewed very negatively by ministers having supported Mr. Bouchard as party leader and Prime Minister of Québec. Party members were embarrassed in the absence of alternatives as sovereignty supporter. Therefore, Mr. Bouchard could command and impose his views on the Party relative to bill 86, partnership, drastic cuts of civil servants salary, forces and of services,… History is repeating itself, Mr Lévesque did use his position as the Party leader very much the same way.

Some party members are saying, the Chief is our leading Dictator for the current mandat in our « democracy » ! In the mean time, a warning has been served to the Cabinet of ministers, to the deputation! However, financing operations and others are mostly left to party supporters ! Others party members are hoping Mr. Bouchard is honest and knowledgeable in his approach leading to a « Québec souverain » as French and economically sounded as possible

Fortunately having a party program renders to the party leader the task of modeling the party to his liking more difficult and his actions are easily observed by the population ! However, someone can observe that this is a funny independantist party; having being in power so long and not having render Québec independant as a country!

In practice, we know that at each hierarchy level defines its values, its positions, its interests, … Decision makers in our society can influence more rapidly key leaders. Who can offer job opportunities to ex-deputies and particularly to ex-ministers? People on the unemployment insurance, social welfare, unemployed , syndicates, citizens, ...

These phenomenas can be observed in the Parti Québécois, as well, as in other countries.Don't you think so?
