Abstract

Analysis 670,000 messages were collected during the 2014 Quebec election regarding each political party using a framing strategy. After associating each message to one of the four main topics of the campaign, two logistic models were developed to describe the election. While having been set by the incumbent party, the topic of "Independence" was not the most important topic of the campaign ("Economy" and "Society" were). When dominating in terms of mentions, each party was associated to a topic, and such association changed during the campaign.
