Elections

The Parti équitable (French pronunciation:

Sainte-Justine-de-Newton ran in Soulanges in the 2014 election. The Party ceased to exist on January 1, 2019 as a result of its merger with the Party Citoyens au Pouvoir du Québec.[1]

Ideology

The party's ideology shifted between the two leaders. When the party was founded by Yvan Rodrigue, the party took more of a centre-right ideology, "advocating a "sound management of government spending" to alleviate Quebec's debt and reduce the tax burden".[2] Additionally, Rodrigue proposed to "remove premiums in the public service, increase penalties for criminals, reduce debt and taxes, and impose a moratorium on shale gas".[3] When Patricia Domingos took over the party in 2013, the party moved closer to the left of the political spectrum, shifting "to a political program based on ecology, sustainable development and social justice".[2]

Leadership

  • Yvan Rodrigue: February 2012 - December 2013
  • Patricia Domingos: December 2013 – January 2019
