Green Party 3rd in latest national poll

Green's Support Surpasses NDP's in Canada for First Time Ever: GPC is 3rd National Party
National support for the Green Party has surged above the NDP's support for the first time ever.

The survey by the Strategic Counsel for The Globe and Mail/CTV shows the Green Party at 13% across Canada ahead of the NDP at 12%.

In the West the Greens are at 18% -- two per cent ahead of the NDP. In Quebec the Greens are at 10% while the NDP is at 7% and in Ontario the Greens and the NDP are tied at 12%. So the Green Party is ahead of the NDP in every region -- except Ontario where it's a tie.

So the GPC is, for the moment, the third national party -- ahead of the Bloc and ahead of the NDP.

The most important pages of Strategic Counsel's poll are available for download as an attachment below or you can download the full poll from http://www.thestrategiccounsel.com/our_news/polls.asp (Nov 12, 2007).

Just out of curiousity, what would happen if Bloc Quebecois ever won a federal election? Does Canada become Quebec?

There was a federal election in the early 90s where our separatist friends the Bloc Quebecois won the second largest number of seats in Parliament. They inherited the official title of 'Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition Party' and had to be addressed as such by the Speaker of the House.

LOL, that's hilarious! Right, just about as loyal as Eric Lindros was to the Quebec Nordiques.

I realize Utah barely qualifies as a U.S. state, but this is Foreign Politics.
