In the first weeks of the current campaign, the Caouette threat to the major parties appeared greater than ever before in Quebec. Political observers were predicting as many as 50 seats for the Socreds...

True, large regional groups are advocated by all the writers who comment on them, but no one yet has accomplished anything to move regional federation beyond the stage of aspiration...
