Well, I find it hard to see how the ADQ could be worse than the PQ in that respect. I haven't heard Mario Dumont talk about 'the white race of Quebec' or curse 'money and the ethnic vote' or refer to 'slanted eyes' recently. And at least he did actually dismiss two of his candidates and upbraid a third for such asinine remarks, whereas the PQ ran a bona fide denier of the Rwandan genocide.
I'm hoping the results really do indicate a sea-change in Quebec politics, but there is unfortunately a lot of traction to the idea that the regions were just rejecting the tapette druggy Boisclair in favour of a nice young xenophobic pure-laine fellow with a young family.
Well, at least Pauline Marois should be happy with the results. I think I can hear her sharpening her knife...
