Charest, who was leader of Canada's federal Conservative Party before jumping into Quebec's political scene in the spring of 1998, has been hammering all week that a vote for the Action Democratique is a vote for the Parti Quebecois.

He had faced considerable dissension within the PQ parliamentary caucus following the party’s fall from power in the April 2003 elections and was forced to make concessions to those in the party ranks who felt he was not promoting the PQ’s vision of an independent Quebec with sufficient vigor.
The PQ claims to be a progressive party dedicated to “social solidarity,” yet under its rule, Quebec workers have faced some of the severest attacks.
It also involved the creation of a whole series of tripartite bodies in which, in the name of government-union-business cooperation, the union bureaucracy was given a modest share of power and influence in return for its role in policing the working class.

Malheureusement, même sous sa conduite, le parti n'a pas su se doter d'une stratégie adéquate à son nouvel objectif.
Il est devenu si réfractaire à la discussion des objectifs idéologiques du parti et des politiques gouvernementales que la moindre remise en question, si elle se veut efficace, doit passer par les médias et prend, dès lors, une allure conflictuelle.
Il est donc temps, après bientôt 40 ans d'existence, qu'il prenne conscience de l'engrenage qui le fait tourner en rond depuis au moins la fondation du Mouvement souveraineté-association, et qu'il y mette le grain de sable susceptible de l'enrayer.
