Among the many active right-wing political parties in France, one of the most prominent is the UMP (« Union pour un mouvement populaire »). On the centre right is the MODEM (Mouvement démocrate), and the foremost extreme right-wing party is the FN (« Front National »). On the left, the most influential party is the PS (« Parti socialiste »). The PCF (« Parti communiste français ») has lost a lot of ground and new parties such as the PG (« Parti de gauche ») and the MRG (« Mouvement radical de gauche ») have emerged. The LO (« Lutte ouvrière ») and the NPA (« Nouveau parti anticapitaliste ») are both extreme left-wing parties. The most prominent of France's ecological parties is « Europe écologie-Les Verts ». → ÉLECTIONS

ⓘ Partis politiques In general, French political parties reflect a basic left/right divide. On the left, the main parties are the parti socialiste (PS) and the parti communiste français ( PCF) while the principal parties on the right are the Rassemblement pour la République ( RPR) and the Union pour la démocratie française ( UDF). These two groups regularly run a joint list known as the Alliance pour la France as part of an electoral pact. There are in addition more extreme groupings at both ends of the political spectrum. Beyond the left/right divide generally, the ecological movement is represented by Les Verts and Génération Écologie.
