Political party in Quebec
The Quebec Liberal Party (QLP ; French : Parti libéral du Québec [paʁti libeʁal dy kebɛk] , PLQ ) is a provincial political party in Quebec . It has been independent of the federal Liberal Party of Canada since 1955.[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] The QLP has always been associated with the colour red; each of their main opponents in different eras have been generally associated with the colour blue.[ 9]
The QLP has traditionally supported a form of Quebec federalist ideology with nuanced Canadian nationalist tones that supports Quebec remaining within the Canadian federation, while also supporting reforms that would allow substantial autonomism in Quebec . In the context of federal Canadian politics ,[ 10] it is a more centrist party when compared to Conservative and Liberal parties in other provinces, such as the former British Columbia Liberal Party .[ 11]
