Is there a naming convention document somewhere for Montreal municipal political parties that they must have the most boring, generic and unidentifiable names possible? + Montreal.
Forward Montreal
Avant Montreal
Direction Montreal
Progress Montreal (rejected, too political)

There’s a whole list of them here and they’re mostly like that. Unlike federal and provincial parties, they tend to spawn in reaction to each other and crumble away after their initial leader quits or dies. I think since they don’t tend to have set political positions like “conservative” or “liberal” that they tend to just grab a name off the rack.

Is it just me, or is (was) Saint-Leonard over-represented in terms of number of parties on that Wikipedia list?

Dhomas, it does seem that way. But I don’t know that the list is complete. Might be that someone with a particular interest in St-Léonard history added all this stuff to Wikipedia and linked it up.
If you read the brief article on Action civique de Saint Léonard you’ll see that the parties were constantly splitting, and some of this dates from when it was a distinct town and not a borough of Montreal.
