Oh, the woes of politics! It’s like a reality TV show but with less drama and more questionable decision-making. The recent survey results on Quebec politicians have left us all scratching our heads and questioning if we’re living in some kind of satirical play written by a cosmic comedian.

First off, we have Premier François Legault of the Coalition Avenir Québec, whose net scores seem to be on a rollercoaster ride of unfavorable impressions. It’s like trying to impress your in-laws at Thanksgiving dinner but ending up accidentally setting the turkey on fire - awkward and destined for disaster.

Then we have Paul St-Pierre Plamondon of the Parti Québécois, who probably feels like the forgotten middle child at a family gathering - always overshadowed by the louder, more attention-grabbing siblings. Poor guy, trying to make a mark in a political landscape that’s already overflowing with egos and promises as empty as a broken piggy bank.

And let’s not forget Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois of Québec solidaire - the underdog of the group, the dark horse that might just surprise everyone with a last-minute plot twist. It’s like watching a marathon where the underdog suddenly gains superhuman strength and sprints past the favorites, leaving everyone in shock and awe. Go, Nadeau-Dubois, go!

And then there’s Éric Duhaime of the Conservative Party of Quebec, who seems to have put the CAQ Quebec City ridings in his party’s crosshairs like a cowboy aiming for a bullseye. It’s like watching a showdown at high noon in the Wild West, except with less gun-slinging and more political maneuvering. Will Duhaime hit the jackpot or end up shooting himself in the foot? Only time will tell.

But the real kicker in this tragicomedy is the revelation that Legault’s poor numbers are akin to Justin Trudeau’s struggles in federal polls. It’s like witnessing a double feature of political disappointments, a twin saga of dashed hopes and shattered dreams. Are we stuck in a never-ending loop of political mediocrity, or is there a glimmer of hope on the horizon?

With such turbulent times in the political arena, it’s no wonder that we sometimes feel like we’re watching a parody of reality, a farce of epic proportions. But hey, at least we have front-row seats to the greatest show on Earth - the circus of politics, where clowns reign supreme and the audience is left wondering if it’s all just one big joke.
