.UNDER THE modern-day French state, started through Charles de Gaulle in 1958, political elections to the country's presidency and assemblage happen at different ballots. Given that the constitution was actually improved in 2000 to shorten the presidential condition from seven years to 5, the legislative election has actually been held a number of months after the presidential poll. From 2002 to 2022, at five succeeding legislative elections, this provided a government of the very same political red stripe as the head of state.
