The Bloc Quebecois are an interesting beast. They don't really fit on the political spectrum, because they are essentially, an elected special interest group. Since it is in the best interest of Quebec for money to be allocated to them, they are typically left of centre. This is not to say the whole party is leftist. Many Bloc candidates are federalists and soft-sovereigntists with centre-right leanings. If they can better serve Quebec by jumping into the majority governing party that tacitly supports their federalism and provincial autonomy, they might.
