The Longest Night: INTRODUCTION In the end the conclusions one may draw from this debate depend on one's view of how federalism ought to be factored into presidential elections and to what extent the presidency ought to be linked to national majorities as opposed to the competition among a plurality of subnational majorities. He also notes that nearly all the scholarship on the election and court decisions seems palpably partisan, and that may be due, at least in part, to the absence of accepted canons of judicial interpretation of the Constitution or of federal laws. The 2000 election rekindled the debate over the desirability of retaining the Electoral College—which is not only an eighteenth-century device but also one originally promoted to safeguard the interests of slaveholding states—and several of the essays provide useful insights and varied perspectives. www.ucpress.edu /books/pages/9775/9775.intro.html   (8446 words)

President of the French Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The method of French presidential elections is run-off voting which ensures the elected President always obtains a majority of the vote. There is a tradition of so-called "presidential amnesties", which are somewhat of a misnomer: after the election of a president, and of a National Assembly of the same party, parliament votes a law granting amnesty for some petty crimes. The President of the French Republic (Président de la République française in French), coloquially referred to as President of France, is France's elected Head of State and also the ex officio Co-Prince of Andorra. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/President_of_France   (8446 words)

Encyclopedia: Iranian presidential election, 2005 Before the run-off took place, it was compared to the 2002 French presidential election, where the splintering of the left-wing vote similarly led to a run-off between the moderate Jacques Chirac and the far-right Jean-Marie Le Pen. The Iranian presidential election of July 1981 took place on July 24, 1981 after the previous Iranian president, Abolhassan Banisadr, was sacked by the Majlis on June 21 and then by the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, on June 22. Asgharzadeh was rejected by the Guardian Council to run as a candidate in the 2001 presidential elections, which had made him unlikely to be approved this time. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Iranian-presidential-election,-2005   (8446 words)

French presidential election, 1981 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This could be no truer than in the French political system and, in particular, the French presidential election of 1981. This was not the case, however, during the 1981 French elections. The most damaging effect of Giscard’s removal of authority from his Prime Minister was that it led Chirac to run in the election of 1981, a decision that would ultimately help determine the outcome of the 1981 election. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/French_presidential_election,_1981   (1228 words)

Why the French are saying non from Guardian Unlimited: News blog French history shows the dangers of the excesses of democracy - - there is a reason they are on their 5th republic. The French aren't as exceptional as you may believe them to be; they are very similar to people in developed countries everywhere in their attitudes to political information.

The majority of the French rejected the Treaty on the grounds that Europe was moving too quickly towards the "Anglo-Saxon model" of job flexibility and free market capitalism. www.hindu.com /2005/08/10/stories/2005081002051000.htm   (1570 words)

Back Seat Drivers The catastrophic defeat of Lionel Jospin in 2002's presidential election brought about an opening for Fabius to re-emerge as a contender, reinventing himself along the way as a man of the people, ditching suits and donning jeans. No doubt vigorous efforts will now be made by the president to have Juppé inserted ahead of Sarkozy in the party's presidential pecking order. It was certainly unusual to see the historically europhile French socialists vacillate on the issue, but the content of the constitution was only one of a number of reasons it became a sticking point with the party. backseatdrivers.blogspot.com /2004/12/race-for-top-its-been-interesting-few.html   (603 words)

ipedia.com: President of France Article However, since the French National Assembly has the power to dismiss the Prime Minister's gouvernement, the president is forced to name a prime minister that is agreeable to the majority of this assembly; this leads to political cohabitation. Unlike many other European presidents, the office of the French President is quite a powerful one, especially in matters of foreign policy, although it is the prime minister and his gouvernement that are formally expected to run the country.

CNN.com In-Depth Specials President Jacques Chirac's mainstream conservatives took control of the National Assembly in parliamentary elections, trouncing both the mainstream left and far right. Chirac's right-wing coalition, the Union for the Presidential Majority, won 354 of the 577 parliamentary seats -- meaning Chirac can leave behind years of "cohabitation" with the left and seize full power for the next five years. The far-right National Front of Jean-Marie Le Pen, whom Chirac defeated by a landslide in the presidential race, failed to win a seat in parliament. www.cnn.com /SPECIALS/2002/france.election   (93 words)

The French Presidential Election: An Assessment -- Thierry Leterre Presidential elections are dramatic moments in the country's democratic life: the people of the Republic choses by direct universal suffrage the incarnation of its sovereignty for five years. In this election, despite signs that the main party candidates are not inspiring voters and the somewhat unexpected popularity of the Citizens' Movement leader Jean-Pierre Chevènement, there is little doubt that the final competitors will be conservative President Jacques Chirac and his socialist Prime Minister, Lionel Jospin. In the Constitution of the Fifth Republic (founded by General Charles de Gaulle in 1958), the presidency is the key-stone of French institutions. www.brook.edu /printme.wbs?page=/fp/cuse/analysis/lettere_20020301.htm   (393 words)

Jean-Marie Le Pen Le Pen's success in the first round of the 2002 French presidential election - he finished second, but ultimately lost by a wide margin in the second round against incumbent president Jacques Chirac- is generally explained by the impatience of the French electorate with respect to the reduction of crime.

The French presidential election: What the figures reveal Surveys published since the first round of voting in the French presidential election make possible a more precise analysis of the result, which allowed the neo-fascist National Front leader Jean-Marie Le Pen to emerge as the challenger in the second round to the current French president, Gaullist Jacques Chirac. The PCF presidential candidate, Robert Hue, first came to prominence two decades ago when, as mayor of one suburb, he led a vigilante attack on an immigrant workers’ hostel, claiming it was a source of crime. There are only two possible solutions to the crisis of bourgeois democratic institutions expressed in the election result: a right-wing, fascist outcome, as personified by Le Pen, or a left-wing, socialist one, which means that the working class takes the initiative to become the dominant force in society. www.wsws.org /articles/2002/apr2002/vote-a27.shtml   (1910 words)
