Talk:Political history of France

Discussion
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)

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)" Tazmaniacs 13:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Important notice
The government section of the "Outline of France" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.

When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process. Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.

Please check that this country's outline is not in error.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact The Transhumanist.

Thank you.
