This is a major loss for Marois and the PQ. Legault was one of the few rightwingers remaining in the PQ.

This is how Chantal Hébert recently described Legault:

Marois has since been unable to build on that momentum. She has been systematically overshadowed by her aggressive finance critic, François Legault, in the National Assembly, and on the stump she has been at a loss to strike a consistent tone, hitting at times on some of the most strident notes in the sovereignist playbook.
