Founding principle

Democracy is first and foremost the sovereignty of the people: no power is exercised above their will. Démocratie Directe takes as its mission to turn that principle into concrete reality, by giving Quebecers the tools and the guarantees to decide for themselves the rules they live by.

Urgency and context

Québec does not belong to a political elite; it belongs to its people. Our current system is not an isolated failure, but the outcome of practices we must stop repeating. It is time to change paradigm: Démocratie Directe offers a clear alternative, founded on respect, transparency, independence and the responsibility of citizens.

Six binding mandates

To deliver on that commitment, Démocratie Directe will carry six binding mandates into a majority election treated as a plebiscite.

01

Founding Constitution

Build on the existing legal framework to establish a transitional charter, and order the creation of the citizens' constituent assembly that will write the first constitution of the people of Québec.

02

Allegiance to the sovereign people

Every elected official and public servant will swear an oath of allegiance to the people of Québec, to protect their well-being and their will.

03

Citizens' committees

Create and support local, municipal and regional committees; foster subsidiarity.

04

Responsibility and accountability

Depoliticize key positions and submit them to the electoral process.

05

Cyberdemocracy platform

A hybrid, transparent and secure system for collecting and processing votes and proposals.

06

Citizens' initiative referendum (CIR)

Enshrine in the Founding Constitution the people's right to recall elected officials and to propose, amend or repeal laws.
