魁北克新任政府的得票率创历史新低,这一结果再度引发了关于该省领导人选举方式的长期争论。
A record-low vote share for Quebec's incoming government has reignited a long-standing debate over how the province elects its leaders.
尽管魁北克党仅获得了28%的民众支持率,仍足以赢得足够席位以组建少数派政府——这一得票率也是魁北克历史上执政党所取得的最低水平。
The Parti Québécois secured enough seats to form a minority government despite getting only 28 per cent of the popular vote — the lowest vote share for a governing party in Quebec history.
支持选举改革的人士指出,这一结果恰恰证明该省的“简单多数制”选举制度亟需变革。
Advocates say the result is proof the province's first-past-the-post electoral system needs to change.
加拿大公平投票联盟的发言人泰德·克拉格表示,当前的选举模式已然过时,尤其是在多政党竞争的当下。该组织主张以某种比例代表制作为替代方案。
Ted Cragg, a spokesperson for the national advocacy group Fair Vote Canada, said the current model is outdated, particularly in an era of multi-party elections. The group advocates for some form of proportional representation as an alternative.
克拉格在接受采访时说:“我们举行选举就是为了选出能体现民众意愿的代表,但现行制度却无法做到这一点。这种制度设计存在严重偏差,导致得票率不到30%的政党也能赢得席位。如今的政府往往仅凭30%左右的民众支持率便得以组建。”
"We have elections to choose representatives that reflect our wishes, but the system is not reflecting those wishes," Cragg said in an interview. "It's set up in such a skewed way that people win seats with less than 30 per cent of the vote. Governments now are formed with 30 per cent of the popular vote."
周一,魁北克五大主要政党均获得了超过10%的选票,但这些得票情况并未在最终席位分配上得到体现。魁北克党最终赢得了127个席位中的59个;而魁北克未来联盟虽然获得了13%的选票,却未能赢得任何席位。至于魁北克团结党,尽管得票率达12%,也仅获得了9个席位。
致力于推动民主改革的魁北克组织“民主改革联盟”主席让-皮埃尔·沙尔博诺指出,许多选民都觉得现行制度剥夺了他们的话语权。
Why the PQ’s victory is reviving calls for electoral reform in Quebec 3 hours ago Duration All five of Quebec's major parties received more than 10 per cent of the vote on Monday, but those results were not reflected in the seat count. The PQ won 59 of 127 seats, while the Coalition Avenir Québec was wiped off the electoral map entirely despite capturing 13 per cent of the vote. Québec Solidaire, for its part, won just nine seats with a 12 per cent vote Jean-Pierre Charbonneau, president of , a Quebec organization advocating for democratic reform, said many voters feel disenfranchised by the current system.

沙尔博诺对加拿大广播公司说道:“民众都看到了选举结果。如今的省议会根本无法反映民众的投票意愿。”
"People saw the result. We have a National Assembly that doesn't reflect the votes that were cast," Charbonneau told Radio-Canada.
在竞选期间,魁北克党领袖保罗·圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东曾承诺将推动选举改革。魁北克团结党与魁北克保守党也均支持这一改革举措。
During the election campaign, PQ Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said he was committed to electoral reform. Québec Solidaire and the Conservative Party of Quebec have also backed reform.
魁北克省下一任省长承诺一上任就迅速行动,因为魁北克党(PQ)即将掌权。选举制度改革在加拿大持续停滞,但一位倡导者表示,这项改革尚未彻底终结。这些承诺是否真的能转化为行动,仍有待观察。
前总理贾斯廷·特鲁多和魁北克省前省长弗朗索瓦·勒戈都曾以选举制度改革为竞选纲领,但在通过现有选举制度当选后,却放弃了这些承诺。
Quebec's next premier promises to hit the ground running as PQ takes power Electoral reform keeps stalling in Canada, but advocate says it isn't dead Whether those promises will lead to action remains uncertain. Both former prime minister Justin Trudeau and former Quebec premier François Legault campaigned on electoral reform, only to abandon those commitments after being elected under the existing system.
不过,克拉格仍然乐观地认为,这一结果可能标志着一个转折点。他指出,过去十年间,魁北克省民众对选举制度改革的支持日益增长。他说:“我们对任何承诺都持保留态度。”
Cragg, however, remains optimistic that this outcome could mark a turning point, citing a decade of growing public support for electoral reform in Quebec. "We take any kind of promise with a grain of salt," he said.
他还指出,2018年,由勒戈领导的魁北克省国民议会所有政党都曾承诺推进某种形式的比例代表制。
He pointed out that in 2018, all the parties at Quebec's National Assembly, led by Legault, committed to moving forward with some form of proportional representation.
他表示:“这表明确实存在兴趣,而且各政党也有过合作的先例。”
"It does show that there's interest," he noted, "and there's some precedent for the parties to work together."
