	French presidential election, 2007 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The centrist Union for French Democracy (UDF), a longtime ally of the UMP, has now embarked on a course of more marked independence, though there still are considerable debates within that party about that policy.
		As of June 2006, the main contenders are thus: Jean-Marie Le Pen from the Front National, François Bayrou from the centrist UDF, Nicolas Sarkozy from the UMP right-wing party, and Ségolène Royal from the French Socialist Party (left-wing).
		Disarray of left-wing parties During the 2002 presidential elections, a number of left-wing candidates ran for office, which, according to commentators, was one reason for the defeat of Socialist candidate Lionel Jospin.

	French presidential election, 2002 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 2002 French presidential election consisted of a first round election on 21 April 2002, and a runoff election between the top two candidates (Jacques Chirac and Jean-Marie Le Pen) on 5 May 2002.
		The first round of election came as a shock to many commentators, almost all of whom had expected the second ballot to be between Jacques Chirac and Lionel Jospin.
		The election brought the two-round voting system into question as well as raising many concerns about apathy and the way in which the left had become so divided.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| International \| Vive la République -- for now
		The incumbent French president received the highest ever vote for a candidate in French presidential elections, eclipsing the 58.21 per cent won by Georges Pompidou in the 1969 elections or the 55.20 per cent gained by General de Gaulle, founder of the Fifth Republic, in 1965.
		Chirac refused to testify, citing presidential immunity, in a move that fed Le Pen's claims that the French political establishment is corrupt.
		Already French commentators are discussing the formation of a Sixth Republic to replace the Fifth, possibly on the model of either the American presidential system or the British parliamentary one, both of which concentrate legislative power and avoid the fragmentation that has been a feature of French political life in recent years.

		Last night, as soon as the results of the first round of the presidential elections were announced, spontaneous demonstrations took place in almost all major towns and cities.
		The presidential election is lost for the left.
		Once the election is over, and especially if the right-wing parties win the parliamentary elections in June, Chirac will launch a vicious attack against the interests of the working class.

	The Illusive Mitterand and French Foreign Policy
		Mitterrand is the first French leader to publicly commit himself on the issue, even though it was with the "greatest of reluctance." It is because the French President sees the danger of the SS-20s to France that he supports the U.S. in her battle with her reluctant European allies.
		The French government does not support the Polisario as ardently as the PS does and the government suggests the resolution of the conflict in four stages aid from Morocco, then the establishment of contacts with all parties involved, including Mauritania and Alqeria.
		The French support the rights of the PLO but not their methods,and not at the expense of Israel ated settlement in the Lebanon and though they want Israel to be protected, they also want to avoid another war.

		France: Election of President Under the second republic of 1848, France for the first time chose as its head of sta te and chief executive a president elected by universal manhood sufferings.
		The election of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte as a deputy in four by- elections on June 4 raised a new issue, however; alarmed, the Executive Commission decided to arrest the pretender should he return to France from England, but the national assembly voted to admit him.
		The election was an overwhelming defeat for all of the republican candidates and in a sense a victory for the Napoleonic legend, incarnate in the little-known nephew of the great Emperor.

	French Political Parties
		The concept of French political blocs is important, because of the tendency in French politics to form coalitions after the first ballot elections.
		The "Presidentialization" of the French party system means that just like in America, parties are going to prioritize their program, organization and strategy to having their main candidate win the presidential elections.
		Yet after De Gaulle left office in 1969, and his successor Georges Pompidou died unexpectedly in office 5 years later, there was no single leader to take over the RPR and it slipped into oblivion- failing to win the presidency until the election of Jacques Chirac in 1995.

		However, due to irregularities in the plebiscite, an unsupervised general election was held in 1958 and won by Sylvanus Olympio.
		In elections that year, from which Grunitzky's party was disqualified, Olympio's party won 90% of the vote and all 51 National Assembly seats, and he became Togo's first elected president.
		The Interior Ministry declared Eyadéma the winner with 52% of the vote in the 1998 election; however, serious irregularities in the government's conduct of the election strongly favored the incumbent and appear to have affected the outcome materially.

	VietnamWar.com:Vietnam War - President Richard Nixon's Role in the Vietnam War
		Throughout 1969 and into 1970, the North Vietnamese army was making increasing use of sanctuaries in Cambodia, both to supply troops in the field and for use as staging areas for offensives into South Vietnam.
		President Nixon knew that one of the reasons the French failed in Vietnam was their pursuit of a strategy which failed to make the Vietnamese people a part of their own struggle against Communist domination.
		Early in 1969, the President announced his policy of "Vietnamization." This policy, mocked by many on the left who believed the South Vietnamese were unwilling or unable to fight Communist aggression, called for the training and equipping of a South Vietnamese army which could stand up to the Soviet-trained and supplied North Vietnamese forces.

		In particular, any claim that monotonicity failure is a practical problem, and that the 2002 French election provides an empirical example of it, rests by necessity on data that is both unobserved and counterfactual.
		Because in simple plurality elections votes cast for trailing candidates (expected to place third or lower) are almost certainly "wasted," voters who sincerely prefer such candidates have an incentive to vote "tactically" for whichever of the two leading candidates they relatively prefer.
		It might be said that the French Presidential election has little relevance to the question of possible changes in the method of holding U. Presidential elections, because the U.S. has never experienced such an extensive field of candidates (16 names on the ballot) as the French election did in 2002.

		Two weeks after the November 7 president election, the Florida Supreme Court overturned and materially rewrote portions of the carefully formulated set of laws enacted by Florida's legislature to govern the conduct of that election and the determination of controversies with respect to who prevailed on November 7.
		But the legislature, being fully aware of the recount provisions and the importance of -- this ties in with the protest period for the election, which overlaps the recount provisions and the contest provision for the election, and the fact that all of this has to be done in the context of a presidential election.
		Green, when this court held that only states can punish fraudulent voting for presidential electors, it got into the act sort of obliquely and at an angle, and that had a bearing on the question of how the presidential electoral slate might be composed, but it certainly didn't get into this.

		During the election campaign of 1952, Eisenhower had promised to “go to Korea,” where a vicious war had been raging since June, 1950, between the United Nations and North Korea, which was backed by the Soviet Union and Communist China.
		But the elections were never held, as the United States stepped into the power vacuum and supported the anti-communist Vietnamese in South Vietnam with arms, supplies and expert U.S. military advisers.
		Following a state funeral in Washington, D.C., Eisenhower was honored with a full military funeral in his beloved Abilene, where, as he had planned, he was buried in a modest chapel on the grounds of the Eisenhower Center on April 2, one of the most admired men of the twentieth century.

	French Political History, 1815 - 2000
		April 2002: In the first round of the Presidential election, the far-right National Front candidate, Jean-Marie LePen, unexpectedly finishes narrowly ahead of Prime Minister Jospin and advances to a run-off with incumbent President Chirac.
		The Left, with no candidate in the final round of the Presidential election, mobilizes massively in support of its great rival, Chirac, holding on the national holiday of May 1 the largest peace-time rallies in French history.
		In the ensuing legislative elections in June, Chirac consolidates his control by transforming the RPR (the party he had founded in 1976) into a broad, center-right party; this "Union for a Presidential Majority" wins a large majority, and little-known center-right figure, Jean-Pierre Raffarin, becomes Prime Minister.

Le Pen, who bested 14 other candidates, now gets to face incumbent president Jacques Chirac head-to-head in the general election on May 5.
		So for the first time since 1969 (in the wake of the Paris riots), the left has been excluded from the second round altogether.
		The problem for the socialists is that the French don't always vote on peace and prosperity--It's the dialectical materialism, stupid--and Jospin failed to excite voters this time out.
