It just seems liek a bit of a disconnect - Quebec is considered fairly liberal (I'm not speaking political party), but in this election has shown a fiscally conservative vein. Will that sentiment extend federally (as some in this thread have surmised), or will the BQ adopt more fiscally conservative policies in pursuit of this voting block and then point at the CPC as attempting to buy Quebec?
A pretty interesting result, both provincially and perhaps federally.

I think that its really hard to say why the vote went the way it did. Sure the fiscal conservatives appear to have done well, but it could be a vote against the other two as much as a vote for their policies.
I think that all of the parties are "fiscally conservative" now anyway; none would run a deficit (maybe the NDP, but even their plans are not to do so).
