By Philip Authier - MONTREAL – Quebecers made no great leap to the left and had no sudden desire to wave the Canadian flag in last week’s federal election, a new poll suggests.
Instead, they appear to have decided to shift their traditional Bloc Québécois protest vote to a new vehicle: the New Democratic Party.
“It was a protest, but people feel good about it,” said Jack Jedwab, executive director of the Association for Canadian Studies, which commissioned the poll conducted by Léger Marketing.
“Voters decided to shake things up,” Léger’s vice-president (research), Christian Bourque, added. “It was a kind of rainbow coalition that wanted to protest in a different way.”
The two were explaining the results of a poll conducted May 5-6, right after the May 2 federal election, which saw the Bloc Québécois’s strength in the House of Commons tumble to four seats from 47 seats and the NDP’s soar to 58 seats from one.
Analysts and politicians have been trying to explain the dramatic change ever since, but these are the first real data to come out of last week’s voting.
Off the top, the poll debunks the idea that Quebecers have become attached to . Instead, Quebecers feel about the same way about today as they have in recent months.
The poll shows that 66 per cent of Quebecers – 60 per cent of francophones alone – answered they feel “very or somewhat,” attached to .
That is the same level as in December.
Jedwab said the poll uncovered one new trend: Anglophones and francophones alike voted NDP, a convergence of voting intentions that is rarely seen in Quebec.
“The ambient cynicism existed in both languages,” Bourque told reporters at a news conference in Old Montreal on Tuesday.
