Liberals trounce the Opposition in Québec

The latest assessment of the Québécois electorate shows an increased level of support for incumbent Prime Minister Jean Charest and the Liberal Party of Québec, at a huge expense to the ADQ, and to a lesser extent, the Parti Québécois. Polls come out on a regular basis in Québec, and from this near constant self-examination the province finds itself deep in the clutches of the province's Liberals, even after the revelation of the full Rapport Bouchard-Taylor was released to the chagrin of the Opposition, who did try extensively to fault the government with an abandonment of principles and renewed calls for a Québécois constitution. The results:

• 41% PLQ
• 32% PQ
• 14% ADQ

Good governance breeds popular support, and with that support the Charest administration has the ability to take the Liberal mission further, to renegotiate the ways in which society functions: pro-worker reforms in the areas of healthcare, education, and housing are required in order to help remedy some of the inherent conditions of capitalism. The environment, and Québécois identity as well, are up for grabs by the political parties, and the Liberal Party should capitalise on their support. Rest not on your laurels, PLQ, rest not!
