Collapse

No other word for it:

Bernard Landry, whose resignation as PQ leader in 2005 opened the way for Mr. Boisclair, said his successor is to blame for the party's "collapse."

From 50% in the polls and 20 percentage points ahead of the governing Liberals when Mr. Boisclair became leader in late 2005, the PQ has fallen to 32% and two points behind the Liberals, Leger Marketing reported in a poll for Le Devoir.

"What he has done has provoked this collapse of our party," Mr. Landry told the Quebec City radio station CHOI-FM. He singled out Mr. Boisclair's recently reported anti-union comments and his musing that the crucifix has no place in Quebec's National Assembly as examples of Mr. Boisclair's costly "misadventures."

Fun times ahead.

UPDATE: Chantal Hébert puts everything in perspective.
