Line 99:
Quebec has a longstanding social democratic tradition since the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s; until 2018, power was shared between the federalist (i.e. wishing to stay in Canada) and centrist Liberal Party and the separatist and centre-left Parti Quebecois.
 
Today, politics are dominated by the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ), which while having supported many economically left or interventionist policies, is said by experts to be centre-right. While not wanting independenceseparatist, the CAQ is nationalist and wants Quebec to have more autonomy within Canada.
 
Other major parties include the Liberal Party (recognized for its centrism, federalism, and supporting the Anglophone and Allophone minorities), the left-wing nationalist and seperatist Québec solidaire, and the separatist and centre-left Parti Quebecois. The Parti Quebecois, and to a lesser extent the Liberal Party, are losing considerable ground, although the Liberals can still count on the votes of minorities, allowing them to remain influential., and the city of [[Montreal]] continues to be a Liberal stronghold.
 
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, a new party emerged in opposition to the COVID-19 lockdown and the vaccines mandates; the Conservative Party of Quebec is a right-wing party that wants to defend economic and individual freedoms.
