## PQ Wins Minority Government
Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon won a minority government with 28 percent of the vote in Quebec's provincial election.
## Professor Notes Uncharted Territory
Daniel Béland, a McGill University political science professor, called the PQ's victory 'exceptional' and 'unprecedented' in Quebec.
## PQ Needs Opposition Support
The PQ won 59 seats in the National Assembly but requires support from opposition parties to pass legislation and reach 64 votes.
## Referendum Delayed Until 2029
Premier-designate Paul St-Pierre Plamondon plans to hold a referendum on Quebec independence after U.S. President Donald Trump leaves office in January 2029.
## Experts Say Referendum Unlikely
Political scientists agree the PQ's minority government makes a Quebec independence referendum improbable in the near future.
## Quebec Solidaire Opposition
Quebec Solidaire won nine seats but is unlikely to form an alliance with the PQ to push for a referendum due to differing views on independence.
## Key takeaway

Quebec's Parti Québécois minority government is unlikely to push for an independence referendum soon due to low seat count and opposition dynamics.
