	Poujade: Menace or Promise?
		The Poujadists first broke into the news two years ago when their small-business membership pulled tax strikes in protest against the crippling French tax system.
		The Poujadist belief in direct action by the people is dramatically revealed in one of their favorite devices: "packing" every auction for tax delinquency.
		The common charge that the Poujadist program is "vague" or "negative" ignores the hard fact that lower taxes are very concrete and, indeed, very positive to the average citizen.

	Pierre Poujade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pierre Poujade (December 1, 1920 – August 27, 2003), born in Saint-Céré, was a French populist politician after whom the Poujadist movement was named.
		The word poujadisme now has in France the general meaning of some political ideology that articulates the worries of some part of the population facing social or economic change, and that blame the problems on the "establishment" and the political system.
		Others, such as the Third Way, have also claimed to be heirs of the poujadist tradition.

	[A-List] EU integration struggles
		They should be careful though -- short term advantage over fiscal autonomy threatens to undermine the planned UK membership of the eurozone, as the single market reasons for tax harmonisation would, in that case, be much harder to deny.
		Meanwhile we have the poujadist punk Thatcherite road hauliers praising Europe, apparently wishing that the British government would "surrender sovereignty" to Brussels.
		EU fuel tax plan revives row By Stephen Castle in Brussels The Independent, 25 July 2002 The simmering row over tax harmonisation in Europe was reignited yesterday when the European Commission proposed a single rate for excise duty on diesel used by hauliers in all 15 member states.

	Guardian \| Poujadisme 2000
		The Guardian's own Polly Toynbee described the protestors as "a popular front of poujadist small businessmen", the newspaper then talked of "a rising of the poujadist self-employed" in a leader and the Daily Telegraph countered by attacking the Guardian for using the word at all.
		His triumph came in the 1956 national French elections, when Poujadist candidates won 52 of the 595 assembly seats.
		So though they might not have known it, the truck drivers who blocked the way out of oil refineries were, without a doubt, true poujadists.

		It began life in the summer of 1953 when Pierre Poujade founded the Union de Defense des Commercants et Artisans (UDCA) in the small town of St Cere, and by January 1956 it was sufficiently important to gain fifty-two seats in parliament.
		A journalist wrote a book on La France Poujadiste in which almost every disagreeable feature of French public life was described as a symptom of Poujadism.
		Denis Healey described the then prime minister as a 'piggy bank Poujadist' while the historian Ross Mckibbin described her as a 'neo-Poujadist'; Dr Mckibbin has apparently spent many hours in his study reflecting on the differences between Poujadism and neo-Poujadism.

		The movement didn't last long under assault from the government and the established political parties, and the wave of protest receded along with the political fortunes of the Poujadists.
		Caught between left and right, and overshadowed by the looming cold war standoff between the US and the Soviet Union, the Poujadists of yesteryear could not have succeeded.

		Assembly President André Le Troquer had just called for a vote on the ejection of another of the 13 Poujadist Deputies whom an Assembly majority is trying to unseat on electoral technicalities.
		The net result of the brawling was to make the democratic parties of the center seem helpless and ineffectual.
		At week's end the moderate majority moved to limit the electoral attack on the Poujadists.

	Statement: Liberal Presidential Confirmation \| The Liberal Party of Sri Lanka
		Though amongst the privileged this is assumed to be the UNP position, we have been worried for some time about the right wing authoritarianism of the current leadership of the United National Party.
		When this is combined with the populism that it has unashamedly expressed in its most recent manifesto, we worry even more, given fascist and poujadist precedents for this in the not so distant past.
		We have indeed previously expressed concern about Mr Wickremesinghe’s assertion, when he was last Prime Minister, that democracy was a luxury that it might be necessary to postpone in the interests of development.

	The Meaning of LePen: Market Nationalism in France - SierraTimes.com

		What was true in 1956 in regard to the Poujadists is even truer now when it comes to Le Pen.

	The Black Revolt in the United States: A Hope for All Humanity - Article @ The Spark
		These leaders represent what the F.L.N. leaders represented for the Algerians: a petty bourgeois ideological radicalism directed against a particular situation which, however, does not call into question the whole social system, even though it uses violence against it.
		The Poujadist bombs in Corsica and the peasant riots in Brittany and southern France spring from this same ideology.
		Perhaps in the course of the struggle, other militants, other leaders will emerge who will see the relationship which exists between the struggle of the fl population of the United States for its immediate interests, that is, for a minimum program, and the struggle of classes against capitalist exploitation.

		But the life of the Front Nationale leader is so well-stocked with sinister events that the usual roguery the French public have come to expect from their leaders looks like kindergarten misdemeanours in his looming shadow.
		After a brief flirtation with the right- wing Poujadist Party in the 1950s, when he became the youngest-ever member of the French National Assembly, Le Pen joined a parachute regiment of the French Foreign Legion and headed for Algeria.
		France was then engaged in a bloody conflict with the Algerian independence movement, the FLN, which was trying to kick the French out of north Africa.

		In Anglo-Saxon countries, "Poujadist" has become an insult to be thrown by the Left at their opponents.
		Denis Healey, for example, described Margaret Thatcher as a "piggy-bank Poujadist".
		It is certainly possible to find superficial points of similarity between Poujade and Margaret Thatcher.

	At the Point of a Gun: Democratic Dreams and Armed Intervention
		They say, in effect, that because nations have signed on to various international protocols and treaties, this is enough of a moral warrant to give intervening states the right to do things.
		For example this is what creates the intermittent Poujadist opposition to the European Union: it's because of how Brussels is seen.
		It may be legal, what they do in Brussels, but the relation between the Commission's actions and ordinary voting citizens in Europe is perceived by many Europeans as being quite far away.

		of action against taxation was the Poujadist tactic of packing the auctions for tax delinquency in France in the 1950's, where local Poujadist's would then buy the property for a few cents and hand ownership back to the rightful owners.
		It’s likely the legend of Robin Hood arose in mid-century or maybe a little earlier, during the reigns of Edward II or Edward III.

	ASSASSINS OF LIBERTY
		the radical libertarian Poujadist tendency in French politics is more of a credential.
		The Poujadists, after all, did not limit their free market activism to the writing of policy papers, but took direct action against the State.
		In addition, Le Pen called for the abolition of the income tax and the death tax: Fortuyn merely called for the abolition of the sales tax.

		The core of the FN was an alliance between reactionary Catholics, outright fascists from the now defunct Ordre Nouveau, monarchists, and petty-bourgeois reactionaries from the old Poujadist movement.
		Now however, the FN is going beyond its petty-bourgeois and small and big business supporters to the working class.

		This event merely exacerbated the Socialist Party leadership's fears that an organised movement, or "radical force," would emerge on its left.
		On August 11, the official head of the PS, François Hollande, applauded the Larzac conference for "contributing to the renewal of the left" but criticised the Confédération Paysanne for "dangerous populist or Poujadist excesses." This was a reference to the 1950s right-wing populist demagogue, Pierre Poujade, whose movement of farmers and shopkeepers staged violent protests.

	EURSOC: Inside The EPP
		The Tories' links to this group - whether under fiercely Eurosceptic previous leaderships or the current lovin' liberal bunch - look more bizarre every day.
		"The EPP is rightly described as the most pro-integration Group", writes the insider, "But it is also very protectionist and poujadist, and this fits very oddly with the former.
		They are very supportive of the CAP and fisheries policy at a time when the Commission wants to reform them and they have obstructed attempts to liberalise services in Europe.

	Van Holsbeeck Murder: Bending Over Backwards in Brussels
		Yesterday Senator Jean-Marie Dedecker, a member of Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt's Liberal Party (VLD), wrote in an op-ed article in De Standaard, a major Brussels newspaper, that the Belgian police, when confronted with criminal immigrants, all too often "look the other way in order to avoid being accused of racism." Dedecker called Joe's murderers "thugs."
		Another leading Liberal, Herman De Croo, the Speaker of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives, said Dedecker is a "poujadist" and a "populist" –; two qualifications which are often applied to the VB as well.
		Earlier this week school friends of Joe's launched a petition asking the authorities "to initiate a dialogue with young criminals" and warning against racist politicians.

		Finally, as a member of the Editorial Board of Tribune, which is as its masthead says, "Labour's Independent Weekly," the Sir James Goldsmith interview was intended as more to expose him than endorse him.
		His authoritarian right "poujadist" politics make him someone that the small "national socialist" wing of the Labour Party need to ask themselves very clearly who they are traveling with when they support his programme.
		If your readers want to find out what Labour's thoughts on Europe will be post the election they would be as well reading the collection of essays by Labour MEPs Changing States: A Labour Agenda for Europe (Mandarin Paperbacks, 1996) rather than the xenophobic, Anglo-French rantings of Sir James Goldsmith.

		Chirac is nothing, and even with four-fifths of the vote he represents nothingness.
