The PQ could easily fall short of a majority. Due to the vote distribution the Liberals will likely get the second most seats even if they are third in voting percentage. If the PQ can't get the confidence of the house then the Liberals would be called on to try and form government.

Given Quebec's support of all the "coalition" BS we had federally I would have to chuckle if they end up with Charest staying on as premier and leading a coalition (with CAQ support) government with 25%-30% support. That is the only scenario I can see where Charest doesn't resign. That assumes of course that Charest wins his own seat.

Imagine if the Liberals formed a coalition with the CAQ and then had to have Charest run in a by-election to get in the house?
