	1995 Quebec referendum - Definition, explanation
		The 1995 Quebec referendum was the second referendum in Quebec (see 1980 Quebec referendum) that put to public vote the role of Quebec within Canada and whether Quebec should pursue a path toward independent statehood ("sovereignty").
		The referendum was the culmination of years of rising support for autonomy (see Quiet Revolution) and rising discontent in Quebec about perceived English Canadian contempt and disregard (see Meech Lake Accord).
		The province-wide referendum took place on October 30, 1995, and the motion to pursue Quebec's secession was narrowly defeated by a 50.58 per cent to 49.42 per cent margin.

		The referendum was a manifesto commitment of the Labour Party and was held in their first term after the United Kingdom general election, 1997.
		A further perceived flaw of the referendum is that in some circumstances the democratic spirit of the referendum may be flouted by the repeated submission to the referendum of a proposal until it is eventually endorsed, perhaps due to a low turn-out or public fatigue with the issue.
		The 1980 Quebec referendum and 1995 Quebec referendum on the secession of Québec are notable cases.

		It was brought forward by Quebec's governing party, the Parti Québécois (PQ), which strongly favoured secession, and approved by two other parties, the Bloc Québécois and the Action Démocratique and several diverse organizations.
		This culminated in the 1998 Clarity Act which stated that any future referendum would have to be on a "clear question" and that it would have to represent a "clear majority" to be considered successful.
		It is now the plan of the Parti Québécois and its leader, Bernard Landry, to take back power in the next election (predicted to be in 2007) and win a referendum on independence shortly after, ideally in 2008, year of the 400th anniversary of the foundation of Quebec City (and, therefore, of the Quebec nation).

	The socialist standpoint on the 1995 Quebec referendum on secession
		Opposition to Quebec separatism must be coupled with a struggle to mobilize workers across Canada in a political offensive against the assault on jobs and social programs being carried out by big business, all levels of government, and all parties from the federalist Liberals, Tories and NDP to the separatist PQ.
		Quebec's secession would so fundamentally alter the balance of power within what remained of Canada and so dramatically reduce Canada's position within the world capitalist order that it would inevitably lead some factions of the bourgeoisie to consider establishing their own statelets or joining the US.
		The Quebec bourgeoisie cynically uses the language issue as a means to incite animosity among English-speaking, French-speaking and immigrant workers and to divert them from a struggle against the horrific social conditions that are being created by the crisis of capitalism.

		The 1995 Quebec referendum was the second, nearly identical referendum in the Canadian province of Quebec (see 1980 Quebec referendum) that put to public vote the political roles of Quebec and Canada, whether Quebec should secede from Canada and become an independent state.

		The referendum took place in Quebec on October 30, 1995, and the motion to pursue Quebec's independence was defeated by an extremely small margin, 50.58% "No" to 49.42% "Yes".
