PQ Internal Troubles

PQ leader Pauline Marois’ had more to worry about Thursday as one of her own caucus questioned the party’s strategy.

Bernard Drainville, the man in question, released a tough analysis of the PQ that he hopes will shed some light on to how the party lost so much public favor so quickly.

A recent poll by La Presse showed that if an election were held now, the Liberals would lead by nearly six percent.

These results are about opposite of what they were in June. However the picture darkens more if you add Francois Legault and his Coalition for the Future of Quebec to the mix.  A new party led by Legault would take the majority of the vote and put the PQ down to a measly 18 percent.

Drainville’s analysis concludes that a lot has changed recently for the PQ with the NDP nearly sweeping Quebec. He thinks Quebecers are disillusioned with politics and accuses the PQ of being more concerned with referendum dates and power struggles than their reputation.

Drainville said “if we in the PQ don’t change, we will not survive.”
