Quebec and India: A tale of two elections and still more lessons for Sri Lanka
Rajan Philips-April 11, 2014
India has just started the five-week long ritual of its 16th national election. In Canada, the Province of Quebec last week had its one-day election after less than a month of campaigning. The outcome of the Indian elections is widely expected to be a defeat for the ruling Congress alliance and victory for the opposition BJP alliance. The results in Quebec were a huge surprise with the governing Parti Quebecois of French Canadian separatists suffering a crushing defeat and the opposition Quebec Liberal Party securing a spectacular victory.
