Du vote lepéniste au vote frontiste

Abstract

From a le pen vote to a national front vote [in french elections] From the 1993 parliamentary elections to those of 1997, the major features of the National Front electorate have not changed: male, urban, not highly educated, working class. Its electoral geography is stable, opposing the mission lands of the West to the bulwarks of the North, the East and the Mediterranean South. But the voting level of the National Front in a parlia­mentary election now matches the presidential election level, and exceeds it very sharply in the departments in which the party has long existed, an indication of its entrenchment and a gua­rantee of its permanence.
