I just noticed an interesting trend in the election results for the ridings in Québec. In everycase where the incumbent lost, there's a fixed pattern. Where a Liberal lost, the riding went to the BQ. Where a BQ lost, the riding went to a Conservative (except for one that went to an independant).
Is there a reasonable interpretation? I think it can be summed up in two points.
- Discontent in Québec with regard to the ad scandal resulted in a movement against the federal government to the seperatists.
- Those who are shifting away from seperatism to federalism are siding with the Conservatives.
At least, that's my take on the Québec results.
