Cartels, Coalitions and the Need for People to Take Up the Work for Democratic Renewal

– Interview with MLPC Leader Anna Di Carlo –

Following the “leaders’ debate” which was staged at the Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec on October 7 by a media consortium with the participation of only 6 of the 21 parties registered with Elections Canada, Renewal Update interviewed the leader of the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada (MLPC) Anna Di Carlo on the debate and related matters of concern. The transcript is posted below.

Renewal Update: On Monday the first leaders’ debate of the cartel parties took place. Do you think Canadians are any the wiser about what to expect in this election?

Anna Di Carlo: This debate was indeed a concentrated expression of the decrepit state of the democracy. The cartel parties, media and pundits are desperate to make it appear as if the people are deciding something but the role of the people is reduced to one of spectators to a circus, which is neither interesting nor even entertaining.
