Political parties in Quebec play a crucial role in the province's governance and political landscape. The main parties include the Parti Québécois, which advocates for Quebec sovereignty, and the Liberal Party of Quebec, which supports federalism and a strong connection with Canada. Other significant parties are the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ), focusing on nationalism and economic issues, and the Québec Solidaire, which promotes social justice and environmental sustainability. Elections in Quebec are held every four years, allowing citizens to vote for their preferred party. The political system is based on a parliamentary democracy, where the party with the most seats typically forms the government. Each party has its own platform and policies, reflecting the diverse interests and values of Quebec's population.
