I'd expect to see far-right and far-left parties focused on social issues join the fray. I also think you'd see regional parties for the Maritimes and Alberta join the BQ in advocating only for their region - this is especially likely if you make the PR portion regional or multi-member riding style.

"It makes government to inefficient when more people have a voice" is a very undemocratic thing to say.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong, just that you can't really consider yourself a proponent of true democracy when you're against the messy parts.
