Canadian voters will elect a new House of Commons (the lower house of Parliament). If the currently governing Liberal Party of Canada wins neither a majority nor a plurality, the prime minister may resign and the Governor General would then invite the leader of a different party to form a new government. The Prime Minister may also continue governing as a minority government or seek an alliance with another party.

All the major national parties will run under different leaders in this next election than the last, held in 2000. This election will also mark the debut of the new Conservative Party of Canada, which will choose a new leader in March.

Until the sponsorship scandal, most pundits were predicting that new Prime Minister Paul Martin would lead the Liberals to a fourth majority government, possibly setting a record for number of seats won. However, polls released immediately after it broke out showed Liberal support down as much as 10% nationwide, with greater declines in its heartland of Quebec and Ontario.

Opposition parties

Many pundits predicted that the combination of the popular and fiscally conservative Martin, along with continued vote-splitting on the right, could lead to the almost total annihilation of the Progressive Conservatives and Canadian Alliance. This fear has prompted those two parties to form a united Conservative Party of Canada, which was approved by the Canadian Alliance on December 5, 2003 and by the Progressive Conservatives on December 6, 2003.

The new Conservative Party has pulled ahead of the NDP in the most recent polls, although its support has been well below the combined support that the Progressive Conservatives and the Alliance had as separate parties.

Prior to the announcement of the union of the right-of-centre parties, some were predicting an NDP official opposition. A new leader, clear social democratic policies, and the possible collapse of the other opposition parties may allow the NDP to make breakthroughs in all the regions of the country.

While many predicted that the election of the strongly federalist Quebec Liberal Party under Jean Charest would give the Bloc Québécois (BQ) new purpose and assure it a place in the next parliament, the party sank in the polls. The continued decline in support for sovereignty, an unpopular leader, the massive popularity of Paul Martin, the renewed presence of the NDP and possibly a united conservative/decentralist party in the province, threatened the official status of the BQ. However, recent polls have show that the unpopularity of the Charest government has led to a backlash against both provincial and federal Liberals in Quebec leading to a resurgence of the BQ which is now statistically tied with the Liberals for support in the province.
