Election is tomorrow ? Well, let's cross fingers. PQ might not be great, but Charest ought to be kicked out.

Outright PQ majority will probably have bad impact on NDP's electability federally.

Why so ? Huh

Because it would reignite the old separatism fire and make it harder for NDP to win BC and ON.

Is modern PQ still interested in pushing forward separatism ? I apologize for my limited knowledge of Québec politics, but I thought the issue had been toned down in the past decade. I doubt there is a chance for a new referendum to be nearly as close as 1995, and the BQ's failure in 2011 is also a sign Quebecois aren't really interested on the issue.

Great, it's the first time I can watch the election night of an North American election without it being awfully late ! West Coast rocks ! Cheesy

Does anyone have a french-speaking livestream ? Not because of understanding issues, but just because I want to hear some Québecois accent. Smiley

Thanks. Smiley

BTW, I have to mentally convince myself that I'm rooting for the party indicated in blue on the map : that's quite rare for me ! Wink

I remember to people than most votes being published now is mostly early vote, which lean Liberal.

Oh, I feel relieved. So far, the results look quite close.

Charest could lose his own seat ?

PQ seems to be hovering between 58-61. There's still an outside chance of an absolute majority, but it seems unlikely. Quite sad.

Only 56 seats... Meh. It's going to be a pretty frail government. But at least, Québec is rid from Charest, probably for good.

I was quite surprised by how extensive the news coverage of these elections was in France (at least, on France Inter). We still love our cousins. Grin

Isn't the PLQ too right-wing nowadays for federal liberals ?

So there is a PLQ politician named Couillard ?

All French-speakers can imagine why I'm ROFLing.
