Topic: Gaullist Party

  
 MSN Encarta - France
The constitution was approved by 80 percent of the voters in September 1958.
The elections that followed gave a new Gaullist party a near majority in the legislature, while the left, which had opposed the new constitution, lost badly.
The Communist Party henceforth exerted only marginal political power, although its decline was temporarily masked by the appointment of four Communists to the cabinet of Mitterrand’s first prime minister, Pierre Mauroy.

 The Scotsman - International - Chirac's Gaullist party disbanded to make way for broader union
Brushing aside their nostalgia, the party faithful were anxious to avoid a funereal mood because the death of the Gaullist RPR, scheduled since the re-election of their leader in May, is to pave the way for the Union for the Presidential Majority (UMP), an umbrella party of the Right, on 17 November.
Riven by squabbling and tarnished by scandals, the RPR, founded by Mr Chirac 26 years ago as his launch pad to the Elysée Palace, was judged by leaders to be irretrievably damaged.
The UMP won a landslide majority in the parliamentary elections and now enjoys an iron grip on power, holding the presidency and controlling the National Assembly, the Senate and the top legal body, the Constitutional Council.

 TIME.com: The Party's Over -- Jul. 26, 1999
Chirac tried to convince his former Prime Minister Alain Juppe to take over the party presidency.
Result: Socialist Lionel Jospin became Prime Minister, sharing power with Chirac under an awkward arrangement known as cohabitation, while the Gaullists and their center-right allies were suddenly relegated to the opposition benches.
Last April, party leader Philippe Seguin suddenly quit his post and abandoned the R.P.R. ticket in the middle of the European campaign.

 Encyclopedia - Yahoo! Reference
Pompidou died suddenly in 1974 and was succeeded as president by Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, his finance minister, who defeated Socialist leader François Mitterrand in a close presidential runoff election.
The president presides over the council of ministers, is the commander in chief of the armed forces, and has power to dissolve the national assembly.
Nonetheless, in the 1993 elections, with the Socialists devastated by rising unemployment and corruption scandals, conservative parties captured nearly 85% of the seats in the national assembly, and Édouard Balladur, a Gaullist, became premier.

They confirm our finding that the single-member-district, two-ballot rules used for the legislative elections have provided the Republic with four stable prototypical parties.
The results of the 1993 legislative elections confirm the impact of electoral rules on French political parties.
In the Fifth Republic we concluded that the single-member-district, two-ballot rules used for all but one of the Republic's legislative elections had produced four stable prototypical parties.

 Chirac wins French presidency with 82 percent of the vote Gaullist president backed by Socialist Party, CP, Greens
The Jospin government will officially resign May 6 and be replaced by a right-wing interim administration, probably headed by either Jean-Pierre Raffarin of the Liberal Democratic party or Gaullist Nicolas Sarkozy, which will serve until the legislative elections June 9 and 16.
The incumbent president of France, Gaullist leader Jacques Chirac, has won reelection for a five-year term after defeating the neo-fascist Jean-Marie Le Pen of the National Front in the May 5 runoff election, by a margin of approximately 82 to 18 percent of the vote.
He had no desire to alienate either National Front voters or its apparatus, upon whom he may be dependent for a majority in the legislative elections.

 Vote for National Front leader heightens political crisis in France
This cohabitation, first of Socialist Party leader Mitterrand as president and Chirac as right-wing prime minister, then of Chirac as president and the Socialist Jospin as prime minister, came to be regarded as a formula for political deadlock.
The 2002 presidential election is the first to be held under a modified constitution in which the president’s term is cut from seven years to five, with parliamentary elections held a month later, in an effort to ensure control of both the presidency and parliament by the same party.
The election result is a devastating indictment of the policies of Jospin and all those who praised him as a supposedly left alternative to Britain’s Prime Minister Tony Blair and Germany’s Chancellor Gerhard Schröder.

 The Observer International Embattled Chirac faces party coup
Balladur called for an immediate party vote on the chairmanship, but Séguin advised the Interior Minister to bide his time because the Chirac-Juppé partnership was 'dying without any help from us'.
Supporters of Jacques Chirac will gather in their thousands today in a desperate move to curb a high-level revolt against the President's campaign to save the party chairman and former Prime Minister, Alain Juppé, from being banned from politics for corruption.
Although the immediate danger to the President's authority comes from inside his party and apparent dismay among voters, the worst long-term damage could result from his tense relations with the judiciary.

 BACKGROUND
Losers were the right-wing extremists found in the Republican Party, The German Nationaldemocratic Party (NPD), and the Schill Law and Order Party (PRO).
The election law also stipulates that in order to be represented in the Bundestag, a party must obtain at least 5 percent of the votes in a district or 3 directly elected seats.
Right-wing parties with extremist views, including the Republicans, Nationaldemocratic Party (NPD), and the Schill Law and Order Party (PRO) all obtained less than one percent of the national vote.

 The Giscard Presidency 1974-1981
As President, Giscard had to live with the National Assembly elected in 1973, in which the the right-wing parties enjoyed a marked majority of seats over the left-wing represented by the Communists, the Socialists and the Left Radicals.
It was these personal rivalries and ideological differences which led to Chirac's creation of the neo-Gaullist Rassemblement pour la République (RPR) in 1976 and the formation of the 'electoral umbrella' of the Union pour la Démocratie Française (UDR) in 1978 in preparation for a divided right in the Legislative elections of 1978.
Giscard's nomination of the relatively youthful Gaullist Jacques Chirac (41) rewarded him for the role he had played in facilitating Giscard's election.

 Seeing Red
The fascist has taken advantage of moves by the major capitalist parties to severely limit legal immigration, and Chirac's "law and order" campaign, to bolster his own scapegoating of immigrants for the social and economic problems faced by working people under capitalism.
Claude Allégre, the Education Minister and member of the Socialist Party, was forced to resign from the government by such actions.
The vote for Jean-Marie Le Pen, an ultrarightist who came in second in the first round of voting for president of France, has deepened the crisis of the bourgeois parties in the country.

Since June 1995 it has held mayoralties in three cities in southern France: Orange, Marignane and Toulon, and in 1997 Catherine Mégret, wife of the Le Pen's second-in-command Bruno Mégret, was elected mayor of Vitrolles, while Gerard Freulet was elected a councilor in Mulhouse (Alsace) in October.
The party polled 15.06 percent in the June 1997 general election (some 3.8 million voters), a slight improvement over Le Pen's showing of 15 percent in the April 1995 presidential election.

You've got five minutes," Jacques Chirac, then prime minister, told a nervous 20-year old about to make his first political speech at a Gaullist party rally in Nice in June 1975.
In his first three months in office, he privatized 35 percent of Snecma, the jet-engine maker, and prepared the state-owned power company, Electricité de France, for a partial sell-off in the face of fierce union opposition.
Brice Teinturier, director of political studies at Sofres, says Sarkozy is to France what Tony Blair was to Britain: someone who transgresses traditional party lines and who spreads his gospel skillfully in the media.

Jospin's strategy seems to include having an early presidential election focus solely on him and Chirac, resulting in his winning, followed by his party winning an outright majority in parliamentary elections.
Far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen lost his position as a deputy in the European Parliament after a French court upheld his sentence excluding him from holding public office for one year for his 1998 conviction for assaulting Socialist candidate Annette Peulvast-Bergeal during the 1997 campaign.
One of the biggest issues in France's upcoming presidential election debate is when the election should be held.

Then, in the name of "republican discipline," they leave the left-winger with the most votes to face his right-wing opponent in the second ballot.
This show of strength may win additional votes for the gaullists.

 Rally for the Republic --  Encyclopædia Britannica
Socialist President François Mitterrand named Édouard Balladur of the Gaullist Rally for the Republic (RPR) prime minister of France on March 29, 1993.
French political parties have traditionally been both numerous and weak, which is generally accepted as the reason governments fell frequently before the advent of the Fifth Republic.
It was the direct successor to the Gaullist coalitions, operating under various names over the years, that had dominated the political life of the Fifth Republic under presidents de Gaulle (1958–69) and Georges Pompidou (1969–74).

The resignation of Philippe Séguin as Gaullist party leader, which comes after a longrunning feud exacerbated by the Balkans War, adds to pressures on the French presidency at a time when it is displaying unflinching support for Nato's operation.
Although M Séguin's resignation presents the head of state with a chance to fulfil his long-term goal of unifying France's fractious centre-right parties, M Chirac will now struggle to keep the lid on his Gaullist critics.

In terms of percent of votes gained it has challenged the traditional parties; nevertheless in political practise it plays a minor political role, as no lawmakers represent the party in the National Assembly, it does not preside any local assembly, it never participated in the formation of a national cabinet.
In the 1990es, Green party politicians were included in cabinets, where they held the position of minister of the environment.

The governing Union for a Popular Movement party holds its annual congress, and the issue of who will replace Former prime minister Alain Juppé as leader on the center-right party is the most contentious item on the agenda.
Chirac is reported to be attempting to lay down rigid guidelines for selection of the new party leader as a means of blocking Sarkozy’s ambitions, but the rival is building his own base to thwart the attempt.

Its basic tenets are the creation and preservation of a strongly centralized state and an unwillingness to enter into international obligations at the expense of national interests.
