New polls in today's National Post shows that despite intense efforts to court the Quebec vote, the Conservatives have fallen out of favour in La Belle province.
The Saturday Ipsos Reid poll put the Conservatives at just 13% in Quebec, well behind the Liberals at 31% and the Bloc at 44%. Last week's Decima poll had the BQ at 45%, the Liberals at 27% and the Conservatives at 12%.
Clearly, the Conservatives did not get the bounce they expected from the Nov. 22 vote on the Quebecois nation in the House of Commons.
The reason for this is simple:
Why would the nationalists Harper hopes to win over support nationalism light, when they can have the real thing with the Bloc. He also disappointed them by informing them that it was a hollow, symbolic gesture.
The end result is that Steve's Conservatives have been relegated in Quebec by Stephane Dion's Liberals, to rump status. That was one pandorra's box you should have kept closed.
