It's a tired old tactic of this Province to elect a seperatist government and then try and extort more out of the federal Gov't. Hopefully this time the Federal Government says no more and puts Quebec on the spot where they'll have to either shit or get off the pot.
Let the referendum begin Ms Marois. People continually say that it's a minority of Quebecers who want seperation but results like this show that to be a lie. A larger percentage of Quebec voters would appear to want seperation than the rest of Canada is being led to believe.

How is 31% a majority?
If she tries to pass a referendum with that number, she's crazier than I thought.

From a 70 year low 54% voter turnout in 2008, 71% of Qu�becers voted yesterday.

He never claimed it was a majority, just a larger percentage than what's typically claimed.

In 2008, the PQ got 51 seats with 35,17% of the votes.
Yesterday, they got 54 seats with 31,94 of the votes.
I don't see that as more separatistes.
Seems that most of the votes the Liberal party lost went to the CAQ.
Not the best result, as the PQ has a minority government, but I can only hope that she royally screws up and gets a large ass kicking from a Liberal/CAQ coalition.

Again, he's not saying there are more this time....or a majority as you initially said, he's simply saying that the percentage of people who are for seperation is larger than Quebec as a whole would like us to beleive.
You hear on the news that a "small percentage" of Quebecers support separation yet over 1/3 of the voters sided with the PQ.
How much that of that 32% today would translate to a vote for separation, I have no idea.
P.L.Q. - 67,49%
C.A.Q. - 13,02%
P.Q. - 7,49 %
D'Arcy-McGee... even better, PQ isn't even in the top 3.
P.L.Q. - 84,72%
C.A.Q. - 7,37%
Q.S. - 3,75%

That's a fairly good voter turnout anyway.

I guess we'll see what happens with that.
I really don't want to see the separation referendum process take place again. Even though Quebec-related issues can be a pain, it would be a shame to break-up the country.
�Support for separation in Quebec isn�t that high,� said Bricker. �The hard core separatist group in Quebec is about 30, which it has been forever.�
Guess even all the separatists didn't vote for the PQ.

I think it would be polical suicide for Mme. Marois to call for a referendum. The only way for her to gain support for separation would be to cause as much shit as she can and blame the Federal Government for all of it. But even that will be tricky since she has a minority.

You are right. There was a radical separatist party this time (Option nationale) that forked from the PQ last year because it was not "enough separatist". Parizeau gave them his support. A lot of young dreamers voted for it since it was very active in social media. They got about 2%. There's also Quebec solidaire, a far-left party, that is also separatist but it's not the first priority for them and some leftwing federalists, even Anglos!, voted for them. But one thing is sure, the separation option is no longer an important subject here.
