It was formed in 2009 by former members of the Communist Party of Quebec as the Movement for the Socialist Party of Quebec (Mouvement pour le Parti socialiste du Québec, MPSQ). In 2010 it renamed itself in order to prevent confusion about its role and objectives, particularly due to association in people's minds with the centre-left Socialist Party in France.[1]
Socialist Alternative supports national sovereignty for Quebec.[2] However, the party states that it does not consider independence as an end in itself and that it is opposed to nationalist sovereignty as promoted by the Parti Québécois. Rather, it holds that a left-wing independence movement can serve to embolden workers and bring questions of economic democracy and planning to the fore.[3] It therefore works with other left organisations to promote a programme for an anti-capitalist Quebec.[4][5][6]
