Political Parties of France (1941):
Parti communiste français / French Communist Party: party of the far left, proponent of collectivist economics.
Parti socialiste français / French Socialist Party: Leftist party, proponent of more moderate collectivist economics and social liberalism.
Front républicain / Republican Front: Center-left party. Supports statist ('etatist') economics combined with social liberalism.
Alliance républicaine / Republican Alliance: A tripartisme (three-party alliance) of the main center-right parties, the Radical Party, the Liberal Democratic Party, and the Republican Union. They adhere to social conservativism, economic (classical) liberalism, and colonial reform. Composed of:
- Parti radical / Radical Party: Center to Center-right party with moderate stances on economic and social issues.
- Démocratie Libérale / Liberal Democracy: A party of conservative liberalism, advocating economic liberalism (classical liberalism) and social conservative views. They are strong advocates of colonial reform.
- Union républicaine française / French Republican Union: A moderate right party focusing on social conservative values. They are the more moderate wing of the Action Française, and broke off from that party to form the Republican Alliance.
Action Française: A far-right party. Their moderate wing broke off in 1939 to form the Union républicaine française (French Republican Union), substantially hurting their credibility.
Mouvement Legitimiste (also Camelots du Roi) / Legitimist Movement: A royalist party opposed to republican government in France and strongly in favor of the return to a strong monarchial system.
