Power Quebec: Ndp and Word Sums

power quebec: The NDP has won provincial elections but it has little hope of prevailing federally, according to Globe and Mail. In contrast, the Conservatives have demonstrated that they can win federally without holding power in many provincial capitals. The NDP is the long-suffering natural third party, resigned to that fate no matter how much their leader might protest. One word sums up the reason for the NDP's fairly consistent lacklustre federal performance and the Conservatives' better chance of winning federal power Quebec. With 23 per cent of Canada's constituencies, Quebec will also be crucial in deciding who is competitive and who is not in the Conservative and NDP leadership races. As Canada's most fickle voters, Quebeckers more often than not determine which party will win federal power and whether that party will command a parliamentary majority or minority.
