Party Representation
– Chamber of Deputies 2002
|
|
577 seats
|
|
2 stage elections so no percentages
|
|
|
|
UDF – 29
|
|
So the center-right coalition has 384, an
overwhelming majority
|
|
Replaced left-wing government
|
|
|
|
PCF – 21
|
|
Traditionally they won about ¼ of the votes
but they have lost ground in last decade
|
|
So left coalition has less than half seats
of right
|
|
|
|
Senate
|
|
Election 2004 (elected only 1/3 of
Senators) (Me – next time will be one half)
|
|
Somewhat similar result
|
|
However 2004 regional elections went
overwhelmingly went to PSF and PCF coalition
|
|
They now control 20 of 22 regions
