April 13 ,1981 , to elect members of the National Assembly of the Province ofQuebec ,Canada . The incumbent "Parti Québécois ", led byRené Lévesque , won re-election, defeating theQuebec Liberal Party , led byClaude Ryan .The PQ won re-election despite having lost the
1980 Quebec referendum onsovereignty-association , the party's proposal for political independence for Quebec in an economic union with the rest of Canada. To some extent, they were helped by Claude Ryan's old-fashioned campaign style: he refused to tailorsound bite s for the evening news and ran a generally TV-unfriendly campaign.The "Union Nationale", which had won 11 seats in a modest comeback in the 1976 general election, was wiped off the map in this election, and never won another seat in any subsequent election. It is now disbanded. The party were not helped by the fact that its leader in the 1976 election,
Rodrigue Biron , had resigned from the party and joined the "Parti Québécois".Results
