 | | Supporters contend that without the Bloc, most of the 75 Quebec seats would be occupied by Liberals, and that the presence of Quebeckers in cabinet has never prevented governmental acts judged detrimental to the interests of Quebec. | | | In the 1993 federal election, the Bloc won 54 seats in Quebec. | | | In the 1997 federal election, the Bloc Québécois dropped to 44 seats, losing official opposition status to the Reform Party. |

| | As traditionalists assumed, Stalin and Mao became emboldened when they concluded from the lack of a U.S. response in China that the United States was unwilling or unable to act. | | | This constituted a significant bloc effort to expand its influence.(88) The new evidence coming from China demonstrates that the Vietnamese were clients of the Chinese during this period. | | | Soviet control over ruling bloc members' international policies and non-ruling bloc members' revolutionary policies in the Stalinist period was at times monolithic, at times not, but it was almost always great. |
