Ideology
The ideology of the party was on the left of the political spectrum, due largely to the party's call for a universal public pension system.[1]
According to a Q&A interview with Radio-Canada in the leadup to the 2003 election, Robataille shared his position on a variety of different issues, including:[2]
- Support for a First-past-the-post electoral system rather than a proportional representation system.
- A monthly $500 credit per child aged 0–18, in order to reverse "the death of the Franco-Québécois nation" due to demographic decline.
- Funding health care through the sales tax
- Independence for Quebec
- Creating a pension plan that allows workers to take an early retirement.
