It's generally been either the PQ or the Liberals in power in Quebec correct?

A mix of Liberal and Conservative sounds like an apt description of the ADQ. It's weird because, when they appeared on the scene, I was quite a fan of theirs. Mind you, again, this was when they had no shot in hell at any form of power, so like I always it was easy to like them.

Their two main issues were access to education and job development. As a university student, these were issues that I clearly had a vested interest in.

MNAs are Members of the National Assembly, our provincial legislature. I guess I showed my ignorance in assuming it was the same name in all provinces. Sorry about that.

The last election saw the ADQ win the status of Official opposition. Otherwise, you're quite right, it's pretty much always been the PQ and the PLQ (Liberals) in Quebec. At least, during my lifetime. And possibly that of my parents as well, but I wouldn't feel as confident asserting that.
