The Parti Québécois ([paʁti kebekwa], PQ; lit. 'Quebec Party') is a sovereignist[8] and social democratic[2][9][10][11] provincial political party in Quebec, Canada. The PQ advocates national sovereignty for Quebec involving independence of the province of Quebec from Canada and establishing a sovereign state. The PQ has also promoted the possibility of maintaining a loose political and economic sovereignty-association between Quebec and Canada. The party traditionally has support from the labour movement; however, unlike most other social democratic parties, its ties with organized labour are informal.[12] Members and supporters of the PQ are nicknamed péquistes (/peɪˈkiːst/ pay-KEEST,[13] Quebec French pronunciation: [peˈkɪst] ⓘ), a French word derived from the pronunciation of the party's initials.
The party is an associate member of COPPPAL.[14] The party has strong informal ties to the Bloc Québécois (BQ, whose members are known as "Bloquistes"), the federal party that has also advocated for the secession of Quebec from Canada, but the two are not linked organizationally. As with its federal counterpart, the Parti Québécois has been supported by a wide range of voters in Quebec, from large sections of organized labour to more conservative rural voters.[15][16]
