Quebec general election, 1981

2 days. PLQ, despite itself and its leader. Platform was decent from my POV though.

Why don't you like Claude Ryan?

Major douche and a train wreck as leader who knew nothing about politics. My favourite example: from fall 1980 through the election, internal polling was forbidden. Not a joke. Plus the notion that he could beat Levesque was frankly absurd.

I suppose it'd be a very reluctant vote for the PLQ (though I find both the PLQ and PQ in their current forms to be entirely detestable).

I can't envisage a scenario where I vote PQ.

Well that's just bizarre. PLQ I guess. There should've been a Union Nationale Option too. They did manage a full slate and 4% of the vote

If I had been in Quebec at the time, I likely would've been a big Liberal supporter.
