No one is saying Canada's constitutional crisis are solved or even that the Bloc Quebecois' time has come, however, my favourite polling companies recent survey in which they asked Bloc voters how they would vote if there was no Bloc is very interesting.
If the Bloc Quebecois did not exist federally and you had to choose between the federal [rotate] Liberals, Conservatives, NDP or Green Party, which federal party would you vote for?Quebec without Bloc (N=230, Margin of Accuracy +/- 6.5%, 19 times out of 20)
- Conservative Party 41% (+13)
- Liberal 21% (+3)
- NDP 23% (+10)
- Green Party 12% (+8)
- None 4% (0)
We could believe all kinds of things as a result of reading this poll including that Bloc voters aren't really hard-core federalists or that all the Bloc is, is a coalition of anti-Liberal voters. I don't think there is enough data to make any such assumption clear.
I love the accuracy of the research SES does, however, if you ask people a fictional question you get a fictional answer. It definitely is interesting to get a sense of the political unknown fantasy world of all Canadian federalists in which a separatist option didn't exist for Quebec voters.
That option does exist and it will continue to no matter how much Dion and May would like to eliminate voters options to gerrymander an outcome.
