The topic of party selection edit

Since there will inevitably be a debate about which parties to include and which ones not to, it would be better to have a debate about it here than to start an editing war. Therefore, I will go ahead and say Bloc Montreal should be added to the list of parties since it has an important media presence and because esteemed analyst P.J. Fournier believes Balarama Holness has a shot at winning the riding of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. source: https://lactualite.com/politique/quebec-2022-les-scenarios-catastrophes-des-partis/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.176.154.79 (talk) 16:12, 24 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

The list of parties that are present on the Wikipedia page refer to the parties that currently hold seats in the National Assembly. Unless Balarama Holness and Bloc Montreal win a seat in the National Assembly or a currently-sitting member were to cross the floor to them, there is no reason to have them be added onto the list of parties. Although most Canadian politicos agrees that Philippe J. Fournier is a great analyst, his word is not final until the proof is shown. Fulserish (talk) 16:52, 4 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Francophone vs Anglophone Polls edit

This page should put francophone and anglophone polls just like the french wikipedia.La lopi (talk) 03:38, 12 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Rolling polls counted unfairly edit

New Mainstreet polls are rolling, which means that they reuse the same samples for multiple polls in a row. The sample size should be followed by a divider which states which fraction of the current poll are actually new samples, and then the graph should take that into account. Make sure that e.g. 4 rolling daily polls at 1000/4 samples count exactly like 1 poll of 1000 samples every 4 days (I say that because some aggregation formulas aren't proportional, such that 4 polls of 250 samples would count more than 1 poll of 1000 samples).

Where is the Green Party of Québec? edit

There seems to be no inclusion or mention whatsoever of the Green Party of Quebec / Parti vert du Québec on this page, despite its participation in this election. Why is that? NipponGinko (talk) 19:20, 3 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Unlike the 5 parties that have the majority of coverage on this page, the Green Party of Quebec has not received the requisite polling numbers or notoriety to be put on this page. Unlike other provinces, such as Ontario or New Brunswick, they aren't as popular, polling very low or not at all in many polls. Fulserish (talk) 19:36, 3 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ah, okay. Thank you for the clarification! NipponGinko (talk) 02:29, 4 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
They appear in the vote share timeline, to show how they have declined over the last several elections.Raellerby (talk) 00:33, 5 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Coalition managed to obtain a two thirds majority in parliament edit

Any legal consequences following this massive victory? Are they for example able to change the constitution of the state or have other additional power you wont have with a simple majority? 93.206.50.192 (talk) 18:10, 4 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

No significance as far as constitutional amendments are concerned. There might be some consequences in the standing orders of the National Assembly, but I'm not sure.Raellerby (talk) 00:30, 5 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
