Every component in our political party is based on highly democratic principles. Overall orientations are collectively ratified at our conventions, which are held every two years. Between conventions, Québec solidaire convenes a National Council to make interim decisions twice every year. The orientations that are passed during these conventions and in QS National Council meetings are implemented by the Coordinating Committee, which is made up of 16 people who also manage the party’s activities.
Instead of having one party leader, Québec solidaire has two spokespersons, who participate in the decision-making process within the Coordinating Committee. This work takes place in a collegial atmosphere, where the party’s spokespersons participate on an equal footing with the other elected members of the Committee.
