## Political Feat Unprecedented
The Parti Québécois could win a majority government in Quebec with barely 30 per cent of the vote, or possibly even less.
## Professor's Reaction
Daniel Béland, a professor of political science at McGill University, called winning a majority with 30 per cent of the vote 'super unprecedented'.

> If they get 30 per cent of the votes, even with a minority government, that would be unprecedented. But with a majority, that would be absolutely stunning, super unprecedented
## Historical Context
Béland doesn't know of any instance in Canada where a party won a majority with such a low share of the vote.
## Polling Data
Three polls taken last weekend showed the Parti Québécois with 30 per cent support and the Liberals between 22 and 26 per cent.
## Party Shifts
The Coalition Avenir Québec has fallen to fourth place behind the Parti Québécois, the Liberals, and the Conservative Party of Quebec.
## Electoral Reform Debate
If the Parti Québécois forms a majority government, it will likely restart or amplify the debate on electoral reform.
## Key takeaway

The Parti Québécois could win a majority government in Quebec with less than 30% of the vote, a feat never seen in Canadian history.
