With only two days left before the election, Parti Qubcois leader Pauline Marois is looking back on her campaign and says if she could do it again, she would speak less about sovereignty.

Throughout the campaign, Maroishas refused to elaborate on the details of the PQ'splans for sovereignty, only saying that there would be noreferendum until the government believesQuebecersareready for one.

There will be no referendum... as long as Quebecers arent ready for one, saidMaroisduring the leaders debate on March 20, 2014.

In spite of a new poll out today that again puts the Liberalsahead of thePQ,Marois says she has a strong team and remains confident her party will return to power.

"I am very afraid about the possibility of the return to aLiberal government because I don't think they are prepared, they don't have a team, they don't have the program, [and] they don't have a real goal to present to the population of Quebec," said Marois.
