| | Radical Party (France) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The radical-led government led by René Waldeck-Rousseau had been responsible for major reforms since 1899 and the creation of Radical Party was an attempt to regroup all the radical republicans into a unified political force to support him against the political influences of the Catholic Church. | | | Another split, this time over France's policy in Algeria, where Mendès-France opposed the hard-line policies of Socialist prime minister Guy Mollet, led to his resignation as party leader, and the party's move in a distinctly conservative direction. | | | The name became rather famously a misnomer, as by the 1920s the Radicals, now led by Edouard Herriot were generally a moderate center-left party. |

| | It was interpreted by the republicans as a threat to the survival of the democratic regime. | | | It was largely characterized by freemasonism and indeed, at the time the Radical Party was established, freemasonry enjoyed the position of a de-facto leader of civil society. | | | The regime of Louis-Philippe subdued the swiftly developing plethora of congresses, and it is possible that this strengthened the revolutionary tendencies that led to the 1848 Revolution, the suppression of the regional Masonic congresses having forced many Freemasons to get involved in the activities of the revolutionary movement. |

| | Where the President's political party or supporters control parliament, the President is in effect the dominant player in executive action, chosing whomever he wishes for government, and having it follow his political agenda. | | | Under the new system created by Charles de Gaulle, the President is the preeminent executive figure, who names the Prime Minister and cabinet, which is composed of a varying number of ministers, ministers-delegates, and secretaries of state. | | | The Left, however -- led by Socialist Party leader Lionel Jospin, whom Chirac had defeated in the 1995 presidential race--unexpectedly won a solid National Assembly majority (319 seats, with 289 required for an absolute majority) in the two rounds of balloting, which took place May 25 and June 1, 1997. |
