Most importantly, they gave the province a sense of instability and they won in 1998 because the way the elecotral map is divided in Quebec doesn't reflect Representation by Population. In other words, the current system is flawed and something that all parties agree need to change. Suffice to say, a Government who was elected with less popular vote than the Official Opposition can't be too convincing whatsoever and shows there is a problem in the democratic process. </font>
Guava,
I couldn't agree more with you about this forum being the wrong place to discuss politics and my apologies for raising the subject.
However, to compare Quebec and Irak, both being "liberated" was a bit distasteful from SH, unless he feels like being in Irak when he crosses the Ottawa River
Just to conclude, may I remind you that with a last night results, the Official Opposition has about 56% of the population vote where the new government only had 44%...
But as you say, no system is perfect!
