This thread is quite terrible, but whatever.
My answer is the same as before, I wouldn't trust any of the leaders (except perhaps David, but while she's great, she has no political experience and a QS government, which will never happen but whatevsky, would be quite a trainwreck) with student government, much less the province of Quebec.
I stand ready to be convinced that Marois' mindless populism and ethno-nationalism was all for show and that she'll govern as a moderately competent and fairly non-corrupt boring technocrat. It's still a very good thing that Quebec is rid of Jean Charest, who besides being totally incompetent and having accomplished nothing good in 9 years, was the most corrupt Premier since Duplessis. Still slightly discouraging for humanity that he *almost* won reelection. As for Legault, it's really easy to fall into his lies and populism, but even besides the fact that his team had like zero talent (a morbidly obese fraud doctor and some slightly shady Mr. law n' order don't count), his platform was retarded and if he had been elected it would have been a disaster for Quebec.
Khadir/David are intelligent and fairly reasonable (afaik) politicians, but they're only really cute for protest/hip purposes. It's great that both are in the Assembly as they will give a voice to many issues and problems which are ignored, but I certainly don't think any of them would actually be good PMs.
