PPDF
Democratic Convention (, CD) is a centrist- liberal political party in France. It is the continuation of the Perspectives and Realities Clubs (CPR) and the Popular Party for French Democracy (PPDF), both constituent members of the centre-right Union for French Democracy (UDF), a confederation of parties formed in 1978, and both established under the auspices of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, president of France from 1974 to 1981 and president of the UDF from 1988 to 1996. The Clubs, established in 1965, were a parallel organisation of Giscard's Independent Republicans and, later, the Republican Party (PR), and a sort of "doctrine laboratory" or think tank, while the PPDF was a full-fledged party formed in 1995 by Giscard's supporters when the PR traced a different political line from its founder. In 2002 the PPDF left the UDF and joined the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP), the new party formed at the merger of the Rally for the Republic, Liberal Democracy and most of the UDF, not ...

Popular Party For French Democracy
The Popular Party for French Democracy (, PPDF) was a centrist- liberal political party in France led by Hervé de Charette. The PPDF was the continuation of the Perspectives and Realities Clubs, a parallel organisation of the Independent Republicans and, later, the Republican Party (PR) within the centre-right Union for French Democracy (UDF), a confederation of parties formed to counterbalance the neo-Gaullist Rally for the Republic (RPR) in 1978. The Clubs were launched in 1965 under the auspices of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, president of France from 1974 to 1981 and president of the UDF from 1988 to 1996. While the Clubs were a sort of think tank formed mainly by PR members, the PPDF was a full-fledged party formed by Giscard's supporters when the PR traced a different political line from its founder. The party was launched in July 1995 and became a new component of the UDF, along with the PR, Democratic Force (FD) – successor of the Centre of Social Democrats and the m ...

Union For French Democracy
The Union for French Democracy ( ; UDF) was a centre-right political party in France. The UDF was founded in 1978 as an electoral alliance to support President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing in order to counterbalance the Gaullist preponderance over the French centre-right. The UDF took its name from Giscard's 1976 book, ''Démocratie française''. The founding parties of the UDF were Giscard's Republican Party (PR), the Centre of Social Democrats (CDS), the Radical Party (Rad), the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the Perspectives and Realities Clubs (CPR). The UDF was most frequently a junior partner in coalitions with the neo-Gaullist Rally for the Republic (RPR). In 1998 the UDF became a single entity, causing the defection of Liberal Democracy (DL), PR's successor. In 2002 the RPR, DL and most of the remaining UDF members joined the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP), which aimed to unite the entire centre-right. The UDF effectively ceased to exist by the end of 2007 and i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Perspectives And Realities Clubs
The National Federation of Perspectives and Realities Clubs (), mostly known simply as Perspectives and Realities Clubs (CPR), was a liberal political association in France. It was a parallel organisation of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing's Independent Republicans and, later, the Republican Party. After the creation of the first club in Paris in 1965, Michel Poniatowski, Jean-Pierre Fourcade, Jacques Dominati and others launched the national federation the following year, in parallel with the structuring of the Independent Republicans. Indeed, in January 1966, Giscard was not re-appointed as Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs and decided to structure the Gaullist wing of the National Centre of Independents and Peasants, which had grouped itself within the parliamentary group of the Independent Republicans in 1962, into a political party, by creating regional committees and a national federation. At the same time, he encouraged the creation of the CPR network, a non-partisan org ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Centrism
Centrism is the range of political ideologies that exist between left-wing politics and right-wing politics on the left–right political spectrum. It is associated with moderate politics, including people who strongly support moderate policies and people who are not strongly aligned with left-wing or right-wing policies. Centrism is commonly associated with liberalism, radical centrism, and agrarianism. Those who identify as centrist support gradualism, gradual political change, often through a welfare state with moderate Redistribution of income and wealth, redistributive policies. Though its placement is widely accepted in political science, radical groups that oppose centrist ideologies may sometimes describe them as leftist or rightist. Centrist parties typically hold the middle position between major left-wing and right-wing parties, though in some cases they will hold the left-leaning or right-leaning vote if there are no viable parties in the given direction.

The Alliance (France)
The Alliance (''L'Alliance'') or Republican, Ecologist and Social Alliance (''L'Alliance républicaine, écologique et sociale'', ARES), often referred as "Confederation of the Centres" (''Confédération des Centres''), was a centrist, liberal, ecologist, and social-liberal coalition of political parties in France. In a government reshuffle in November 2010, Jean-Louis Borloo, minister of Ecology, Energy and Sustainable Development and leader of the Radical Party, and Hervé Morin, minister of Defence and leader of New Centre, were excluded by Prime Minister François Fillon. This led many centrists to distance from President Nicolas Sarkozy. On 7 April 2011 Borloo announced the creation of a centrist coalition. On 14–15 May, during a party congress, the Radicals decided to cut their ties with Sarkozy's Union for a Popular Movement (UMP), of which they had been an associate party since 2002. The coalition was officially launched during a convention on 26 June 2011. The loo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Political Parties Established In 1995
Politics () is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of status or resources. The branch of social science that studies politics and government is referred to as political science. Politics may be used positively in the context of a "political solution" which is compromising and non-violent, or descriptively as "the art or science of government", but the word often also carries a negative connotation.. The concept has been defined in various ways, and different approaches have fundamentally differing views on whether it should be used extensively or in a limited way, empirically or normatively, and on whether conflict or co-operation is more essential to it.
