Quebec election 2018

The 2018 Quebec provincial election saw the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ), led by François Legault, win a majority government, ending nearly 50 years of Liberal and Parti Québécois dominance. The CAQ campaigned on issues like healthcare, education, and spatial development, emphasizing regional development and a moderate approach to Quebec nationalism. The Liberals, led by Philippe Couillard, faced declining support and were reduced to the opposition. The Parti Québécois, focused on Quebec sovereignty, experienced a significant decrease in seats, reflecting shifting voter priorities towards provincial issues over independence. Overall, the election signaled a move toward pragmatic, regional-focused governance.
