About two years ago I would have done much better on this test.

1. Sarkozy, UMP
2. Fillon, UMP
3. National Assembly and Senate
4. About 20
5. PS
6. De Gaulle, Pompidou, Giscard, Mitterrand, Chirac, Sarkozy. Also Poher.
7. Can't do that, so I'll list a few. Chirac, Jospin, Balladur, Villepin, Bérégovoy, Fillon.
8. Greens, Left Radicals, PCF
9. The constituencies are cantons. Don't remember the names of the assemblies.
10. 100?
11. Can't believe I've forgotten this. 15%?
12. European elections are one. Don't know the other two.
13. Chirac, Le Pen, Jospin. Not sure about the last one. Laguiller?
14. Flemish, Catalan, Basque, Alsatian
15. 1965 was De Gaulle, Mitterrand, Lecanuet. 1974 was Chirac, Mitterrand, and a Gaullist whose name I've completely forgotten.
16. 1969
17. Left is easy: SFIO and PCF. I can't remember the names of any right-wing parties offhand; they changed too often.
18. PCF
19. Anti-Communist and Anti-Gaullist coalition in the Fourth Republic, composed of the SFIO, Radicals, and some right wing party. CNIP, I think.
20. Pass.
21. Alsace
22. Ugh, I've forgotten.
23. Blum was a Jewish SFIO politician who became Prime Minister after the 1936 elections. Daladier was a Radical-Socialist; I believe he succeeded Blum as Prime Minister. Briand was Foreign Minister and namesake of the Kellogg-Briand Pact. Lebrun was the last President of the Third Republic.
24. Don't remember the first. The second was Paul Deschanel.
25. Reims
26. Don't remember the name, but it's some boring centrist group. I believe the Radicals are in it.
27. Flandin was Deputy Prime Minister at one point in Vichy. Chautemps was another Radical who was Prime Minister between the wars.
28. Bleu horizon
29. 1924 and 1932
30. Bonaparte and some others
31. I don't know, but I do know that PdV is the only Libertas MEP.
32. Royer was a right-wing candidate for President in 1974. Waechter was a Green candidate for President. Marchais was leader of the PCF for many years. Duclos was a left-wing candidate for President in 1969. I think he was PCF.
33-36. Pass.
37. Bruno Mégret
