Quebec 2014 - another election that never was

[MaxQue]

Damn, I thought an election had actually been called

None will be before the municipal elections on November 3.

I agree with Rogue. I have seen no signs of what DL is talking.

There is no question that Marois cynical plan was to rev up xenophobic sentiments and go for an election in December - the problem is it doesn't seem to be working. Polls still have her behind and when all is said and done - politicians do not call elections any earlier than they have to unless they think they are almost certain to win - right now polls indicate that Marois would probably lose. Maybe she figures that a 25% chance of winning in December is better than a 5% chance of winning in 2014 - but we shall see.

It is working, when you go outside of the insulated world of Montreal (which is not relevent to the result of the election, as most seats are safe for the moment).

The Charter is a success, the goal was to bring back populists who left for the CAQ.

Thank you both, that makes more sense. The PLQ and CAQ have enough votes to force a no-confidence though, right? Or how does that work?

Right, but electors hates when you do it without a good reason (and I'm not sure than CAQ wants an election right now).

Also, PLQ and CAQ aren't that close. They couldn't work together.
