According to a recently conducted survey by The Leger Marketing, in case provincial elections were held this past weekend, the separatists would have managed to score a majority government. The poll made some serious implications, like for example, regardless of how many ethnic and religious citizens gather to oppose Parti Quebecois’ secularism charter, it has not hurt their reputation among most French voters.
The party has already challenged before that it is prepared to put its minority government at stake in case it is a necessity to getting a bill passed to bar public servants from wearing religious symbols. In his remarks, vice-president of Leger, Christian Bourque confessed that “this is the first time that the PQ is mathematically in position to win a majority government since their election in fall 2012.” Poll results showed that 36% of poll respondents would vote for the PQ while 33% would vote Liberal. The PQ managed to slightly extend their superiority over poll’s margin of error.
According to the survey, the bill dubbed as the Charter of Quebec Values was a winner for nearly half of respondents as forty-eight per cent of all voters supported the proposal. Upon scrutiny of those supporting the bill, almost 86% of PQ voters supported the bill and, on the other hand, 71% of respondents voting for the Liberals rejected the secularism charter. Consequently, it was easily deducted that the bill’s support mainly lied with francophones, i.e. at 57%, compared to an extremely low 18% of English-speaking and foreign-language.
