Parti 51

Parti 51 was a minor political party in the Canadian province of Quebec in the late 1980s. The party proposed the separation of Quebec from Canada in order to seek admission to the United States as the 51st state of that union. In the 1989 Quebec provincial election, the only election in which it nominated candidates, the party nominated 11 candidates, who won 3,846 votes, or 0.11% of the popular vote in the province. The party had no success in winning election to the National Assembly of Quebec, and in the spring of 1990, asked the Direction of Elections of Quebec to dissolve the party because it no longer had enough members to form an executive committee.
