Since the crushing defeat of Pauline Marois and the Parti Québécois in Monday’s provincial election, many have been wondering if Quebec’s sovereignty movement is in permanent decline. To interpret the result, it may be more useful to also take voting patterns in Quebec’s previous general election into account.
When Quebec Premier Pauline Marois called elections in Canada’s predominantly French-speaking province five weeks ago, it was assumed her party, the separatist Parti Québécois, would coast to victory. Instead, the PQ is under pressure in the polls. Voters are wary of another referendum on independence.
