Many are wondering who will step up to the plate to fill Pauline Marois's shoes as Parti Québécois leader after yesterday's crushing provincial election defeat.
Monday night's election saw Philippe Couillard's Quebec Liberal Party win overwhelmingly, and the lowest PQ support since 1970, when the party was under Robert Bourassa's leadership.
But CBC's Rosemary Barton says the good news for the PQ is there's no lack of interest in taking over Marois's job.
Among the most obvious choices are:
- Media mogul Pierre Karl Péladeau.
- Bernard Drainville, the former minister responsible for the secular charter.
- Jean-François Lisée, former international relations minister.
Jean Dorion, former Bloc Québécois MP, says there's no doubt that Péladeau is angling to lead the PQ.
"I cannot imagine a man of the amplitude of Mr. Péladeau staying as a backbencher in an opposition party," Dorion told CBC's Daybreak.
"Of course he's aiming to become the new leader."
But Dorion said Lisée and Drainville were both gunning for the job long before Péladeau appeared on the scene, and each has his own following within the party.
"Those two have a kind of nuclear weapon against Péladeau, because they can always tell people that it started turning wrong when [Péladeau] raised his fist and talked about the referendum."'
Marois is not out of the picture yet.
After conceding defeat on Monday night, Marois said she would stick around to help complete the transition process within the party, before officially stepping down.
