I know nothing about St Pierre et Miquelon politics - but I suspect there is a degree of the "local baron" phenomenon that you often get in hyper-peripheral regions and in particular in France that influences voting habits.
IIRC though, the settlement of St Pierre et Miquelon was a completely different process (later, and very little interaction with the Quebecois and Acadiens) and it is striking that the local accent is much closer to the accents of metropolitan France than to French Canadian ones. As in, it is completely lacking the characteristic Quebecois twang
