The by-election was caused by the decision of PQ MNA Rosaire Bertrand to stand down to offer the new Parti Québécois leader Pauline Marois a way to become an MNA. The Liberal Party of Quebec stated that it would not stand a candidate against Marois so that all three party leaders would be represented in the National Assembly, but the Action démocratique du Québec did run a candidate. The ADQ accused the Liberals and the PQ of a lack of democratic principles, claiming that it was not necessary for a third-party leader to be represented in the National Assembly.[1][2]

gollark: The mildly-higher-res display lets it display square roots and fractions nicely.
gollark: Also, this model supports matrices and stuff.
gollark: Nice inputs.
gollark: The calculators we use have higher-res displays, so that stuff doesn't work.
