Revolutionary Moderation

Election day in Quebec



If you're in Quebec, don't forget to go vote. Hey, remember the good old days, when every vote in Quebec seemed to send a warning shot over the bow of Confederation? Those days are gone. Health care, education, taxes... that's what the campaign has been about. I wouldn't mind seeing the PQ lose, because sovereignty tends to rear its head at unexpected moments, and I wouldn't mind seeing the ADQ grab a decent share of seats, because I think three-party systems tend toward more democracy and drive politics harder toward the centre of the political spectrum, where I like my politics.



But my only guess for the evening? Low turnout. That's not a good thing, but there it is.
