Abstract

An analysis of the spirit of contemporary French politics is presented. One important and complicated parliamentary event, the session of the Congress (that is, the combined National Assembly and Council of the Republic) in Versailles, from December 17 to 23, 1953, which resulted in the election of Monsieur Rene Coty to the Presidency of the Republic is studied. The impact of predictions of electoral success and failure on the actual voting is discussed.
