Elections that are being abandoned by French people- but are essential for the government of the country.
Legislative elections in France are not organized at a national level like the presidentials- but by constituency.
There are 577 in France, who each send an MP to the National Assembly.
The voting system is uninominal and based on majority- candidates must win more than 50% to pass the first round.
If not, a second round is organised with candidates having obtained a suffrage of at least equal to 12.5 percent of registered voters.
This system favours the big parties, to the detriment of smaller ones who would prefer a proportional electoral syst...

2002 French Presidential Election
The 2002 French presidential election consisted of a first round election on 21 April 2002, and a runoff election between the top two candidates on 5 May 2002. This presidential contest attracted a greater than usual amount of international attention because of far-right candidate Le Pen's unexpected appearance in the runoff election.

The French Legislative Elections - Professor Robert Elgie
About the Speech:
The French electorate returns to the polling stations on June 11 and June 18 to elect 577 deputies to sit in the National Assembly. A majority for the newly formed party of the new President, La Republique En Marche (REM) would allow President Macron to pursue unhindered his policy of radical change of French politics and of the French Republic. The results of these elections and their widespread implications for France, Europe and Ireland, were analysed by the participants in this seminar.
About the Speaker:
Emmanuelle Schon-Quinlivan is a lecturer in European political science in the Department of Government, UCC. Born in France, she graduated in European law and political science from La Sorbonne (BL), Sciences Po Paris (MA) and Edinburgh University (LLM); Robert El...

Elections that are being abandoned by French people- but are essential for the government of the country.
Legislative elections in France are not organized at a national level like the presidentials- but by constituency.
There are 577 in France, who each send an MP to the National Assembly.
The voting system is uninominal and based on majority- candidates must win more than 50% to pass the first round.
If not, a second round is organised with candidates having obtained a suffrage of at least equal to 12.5 percent of registered voters.
This system favours the big parties, to the detriment of smaller ones who would prefer a proportional electoral system.
Despite being more representative of the electorate, proportional voting brought about political instability in the 4th Republic.
It ended up disappearing in constitutional reforms in 1962.
The objective of each party is to elect 289 MPs, an absolute majority at the National Assembly. It can then legislate without negotiating with any other bodies.
Since 2002, legislative abstention never stopped rising- it reached almost 45% in 2012.
However these elections directly determine who will govern over the next 5 years.
The new President’s party is only a year old and has no elected representatives for the moment.
Meanwhile, the National Front has only 2 MPs in the Assembly.
As for the traditional parties of left and right, they are more divided than ever since the presidential election…

15. SOUNDBITE: (English) Dominique Moisi, Political Analyst:
"There is a third party in France which proved to be extremely important, in fact the majority. It's the party of the opposition to the system. It's the combination between the extreme right and the extreme left. And if you add those forces, they did represent more than 40 per cent in the first ballot of the French presidential election. We don't know how well these people will do in the legislative elections. If they do very well it means that we may have a very small majority within the National Assembly for the right."
APTN
Paris - June, 2002
16. Medium shot of electoral posters
STORYLINE:
More than one month after France's Socialist prime minister bowed out of politics in humiliation, a similar end may be in store for the left-controlled National Assembly following crucial parliamentary election that begins Sunday.
Opinion polls in continental Europe's second-largest democracy suggest middle-of-the-road conservatives will take over the Bourbon Palace after voters cast ballots on June 9 and 16 in a two-round election for the National Assembly.
If the polls hold, France would become the biggest prize yet among European countries where conservative parties made significant gains this year - such as Denmark, Italy, Portugal and the Netherlands.
A right-wing victory would also be a major triumph for President Jacques Chirac, a staunch conservative stymied by five years of sour relations with a Socialist-led parliament whose leader, Jean-Marc Ayrault, once called him "a nervous, fickle bourgeois".
Chirac was re-elected on May 5 with a sweeping 82 percent, but only because he faced extreme-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen in the second round.
In the first round, Chirac polled under 20 percent.
The re-elected leader badly needs a majority in parliament to avoid another five-year period of "cohabitation", a power-sharing arrangement between opposite political parties that often results in a paralysed government.

16. SOUNDBITE (French) Vox pop:
"I think it's important to vote, not necessarily to choose someone, but perhaps choose a way to make this country a bit better than the other candidate is proposing."
17. Exterior boards showing candidates
STORYLINE:
After a two-week campaign that mobilized France, conservative President Jacques Chirac appeared likely to win his re-election bid against ultra-right contender Jean-Marie Le Pen.
The runoff to determine which man will lead France for the next five years got under way early on Sunday as polling places opened at 8:00 a.m. local time (0600 GMT).
Election results were expected at 8:00 p.m. (1800 GMT).
On the eve of Sunday's runoff, newspapers of varying political stripes urged readers to support Chirac against Le Pen, leader of the National Front party.
Polls and political observers indicated Chirac's victory was virtually in hand.
The dust has yet to settle after Le Pen shocked France and confounded pollsters on April 21 by coming in second in a record field of 16 candidates - notably Socialist Prime Minister Lionel Jospin.
The resulting protests were expected to continue all the way to the ballot box.
Some leftists were so disgruntled about having to vote for Chirac that they planned to put on gloves to handle the ballot.
France's Constitutional Council warned that anyone casting ballots with gloves - or other improper behavior - could risk the annulment of their votes.
Another question is how many people will abstain, or how those who didn't vote in the first round would vote on Sunday.
There was a record 28 percent abstention rate in the first round.
Many parties on the left, especially the Socialists, are already looking forward to legislative elections next month, billed as a "third round" of the election.
