UMP, one of the so-called Free Reformers probably would have been UDF ten years ago but most likely would have left the party when Alain Madelin left.

Could you explain more? You totally went over my head on that one.

Alright sure. Before 1998 liberals, like you and myself, the anti-Gaullist right in a sense, was entirely concentrated in the UDF as the only other party on the right was the Gaullist Rally for the Republic. Included in this UDF coalition were many right-wing liberals who's leader was Alain Madelin. Over time, basically throughout the 90's, Madelin and other liberal leaders within the UDF fought against the Christian Democrats and centrists led by Francois Bayrou. This led, in 1998, to Madelin and most of the liberal members of the UDF, though not all of them, leaving and forming a party called Liberal Democracy, which stood in the 2002 presidential and legislative elections.

After the 2002 elections Madelin and Liberal Democracy joined the UMP just as Chirac was opening the doors to a more umbrella of the right. These former UDF/Liberal Democracy people became a group within UMP called the Reformers and also the Free Right. Many became Sarkozy supporters and helped propell him over Gaullist challenges.

Within the UDF some liberals still stayed but they were dominated by the Bayrou centrist/Christian democratic bloc. However as Bayrou has left the UDF to form his own thoroughly centrist party we will have to see what becomes of this rump UDF.

I hope that gives some insight into what I was trying to say.

I'd never join MD. I really don't like Bayrou or his pseudo-centrist, Christian democratic ideas.
