...is mighty interesting, I must say! There is essentially, in case you haven't been paying attention, haven't noticed, or don't care, a civil war going on inside the Parti Quebecois.
The battle pits hardline separatists such as former Premier and Party leader Jacques Parizeau against Bernard Landry, the current leader, and the softer sovereignists. At a party meeting this weekend, challenges to the leadership held by Landry were made by Pauline Marois, a longtime party stalwart, MNA and former challenger for the leadership, and Francois Legault. But obviously the party is behind Landry four-square: he won a confidence vote by a vote of 455-8.
It will be very interesting to see where the party goes from here. With this vote of confidence in Landry, its tough to see where Parizeau and other malcontents can muster the moral fortitude to continue creating public mischief. Seems to me the party wants to continue on with Landry.
