Parti communiste du Québec (sovereigntist)
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Party recognized during 2 general elections, from 2006 to 2012, but never having presented a single candidates. Affiliated to no international organization. A split from the historic Communist Party of Quebec, which has not been recognized by the Chief Electoral Officer since 2003, but which has run candidates in 9 general elections and is now running candidates in the federal election for the Communist Party of Canada.

In addition to sources from the group's main page or activist blogs, external sources clearly indicate that members were acting as a collective within Québec solidaire or the Parti québécois (Lavoie, Jasmin. "Des communistes séduits par PKP" [archive], La Presse, October 21, 2014) after the party lost its authorization in 2012 for lack of members. The party currently has no official recognition in either Québec solidaire, the Parti Québécois, or the Bloc Québécois. There is also no evidence that the group was officially constituted as a collective from sources that are not internal. Eshko Timiou (talk) 21:02, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete As mentioned above, the party never ran a candidate at an election. Limited external source that only refer to the Party indirectly. Most of the article is original research without reliable, published sources. Eshko Timiou (talk) 19:57, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
