Altering the Voting Protocol: A New Perspective
In the heart of Quebec politics, a call for electoral reform is echoing, with the CAQ government being encouraged to reconsider and act upon an abandoned bill (Bill 499 deposited in 2023). The proposed reform aims to strengthen Quebec's presidential election by increasing public engagement and trust, enhancing digital security measures, and implementing educational campaigns to raise awareness about the voting platform and electoral processes.
The author argues that such reform could strengthen democracy by ensuring that every vote counts and decreasing cynicism towards politics. This stance is supported by a case study from New Zealand, where electoral reform allowed the government to collaborate more on medium and long-term issues like the environment.
However, the current electoral system in Quebec is considered defective and disproportionate. The ways of counting votes and assigning seats to the National Assembly often result in a distribution of deputies very different from the distribution of votes. This disparity could be addressed through electoral reform, potentially allowing the CAQ to keep about 14% of the seats in the National Assembly, if implemented.
The CAQ's decline continues due to failures such as the SAAQclic fiasco, Northvolt file, and unjustified road link. Despite this, the CAQ would no longer be a majority but would still be in the Chamber and could participate in future decisions and ensure follow-up on current files. A more proportional system could indeed be implemented by the CAQ's majority government.
The author calls on the CAQ government to revisit the benefits of electoral reform for the entire Quebec and the health of its presidential election. As of September 18, Qc125.com predicts the potential impact of electoral reform on the distribution of seats in the National Assembly.
The time is ripe for an electoral reform, according to the author. People are outraged for two weeks, then the party that just won often backs down on its promise to fix the electoral system. The author questions readers to join the conversation and share their thoughts on the proposed electoral reform.
It is important to note that the author does not mention any specific failures or mistakes made by the CAQ government in the current paragraph. Similarly, there are no predictions about the CAQ's performance in the next presidential election. The CAQ government is currently at the bottom of polls, according to Qc125.com, predicting that the party could win no seats in the next election.
Minority and coalition governments are more likely to engage in healthy debates on societal issues and produce bills through collaboration rather than contempt. The author argues that such governments are beneficial for the overall health of democracy, as they encourage transparency and engagement.
In conclusion, the call for electoral reform in Quebec is gaining momentum. The CAQ government is urged to reconsider its stance on electoral reform and consider the potential benefits for the health of Quebec's presidential election and the engagement of its citizens. The author invites readers to join the conversation and share their thoughts on this important issue.
