The first section before the TOC is far from NPOV for obvious reasons. Would someone mind fixing it and writing a better introduction? Guanaco
- Ok. That's why it was in italics: it's the French Constitution's introductory sentence.:-) Point taken. David.Monniaux 16:29, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I had to do a massive revert because somebody had erased most of the article...David.Monniaux 16:29, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)
In the table about parties: the "leader" column is for the titulary leader (chairman or whatever the title is) or at least the spokesperson (for the Trotskyites). Do you suggest I add a column for "notable members"? For instance, Sarkozy and Juppé are notable members of UMP (I doubt actualy that Chirac is a member); Jospin, Strauss-Kahn and Fabius are notable members of PS.

This needs to be greatly extended, with a discussion on the platforms and tendencies of all major parties, and also their historical points of views. David.Monniaux 10:56, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Chirac is, in fact, member of the UMP -- as one of its founder. --DragonFly31 16:13, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cumul des mandats is not corruption!
I removed the following. The statistical information is interesting & should be replaced, but not in such a way as to present it as corruption. It is far from being either corruption or favoritism (by itself), but is simply a feature of the national system, which may or not be appproved:
Political corruption and favoritism has been an issue in modern politics as well; by 1988, 96 percent of French politicians held office simultaneously in different levels of government in a practice known as cumul des mandats (REF: Gildea, Robert. France Since 1945. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2002, pg. 240)
