Political parties
ElectionsOption nationale is a political party in Quebec, Canada. It was founded in 2011 by Jean-Martin Aussant, a member of the National Assembly (MNA) who had quit the Parti Québécois (PQ) earlier that year after being elected in 2008. The party advocates the sovereignty of Quebec from Canada, and, similar to the fringe Parti indépendantiste, says a vote for Option nationale is a vote for sovereignty, without a referendum. The party originally planned to use the name "Option Québec", but it was already taken by another group.[1] Shortly after its creation, Lisette Lapointe, wife of former Quebec Premier Jacques Parizeau, acquired a membership card from the party, but will continue sitting as an independent.[2]
