Proportional representation : a century of controversy, Gilles Le Béguec.
The controversy about the proportional System of voting has been agitating France for the past century, from 1888 to 1985. PR, to be used for the 1986 elections, triggered off a tough fight between 1906 and 1913 during the glorious hours of the radical Republic. It has never since then disappeared from the political horizon, and still alters the traditional cleavages. But this debate between followers of RP and those of the majority electoral System is a mere convenience. The unfaithful children of the majority System of 1914, 1936 or 1981 imposed it in 1919, 1945 and 1985. There is a great temptation to struggle over the electoral System rather than the extension of voting rights or the Constitution. The debate is a useful substitute, a kind of regulation of the French political System. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
