The Ballot Box: Elections Around the World

Elections on 3rd October in Quebec saw another landslide majority for the CAQ party of premier François Legault. Leagult came to power in 2018 leading the first government not of the Liberals or PQ since the 1960s. He represents a departure in Quebecois politics from the Sovereignty-federalism divide. The size of the CAQ victory was magnified by the vote splitting of the opposition, with 4 other parties getting between 10-15% of the vote. We break down Quebec's political journey, and why this contest looks little like its predecessors.
