Abstract

The article describes the evolution of French pluralistic democracy in the direction of bipolarization of the party system and ideo­logical programmatic division into the social right and left wings. This bipolarisation was the outgrowth of the V Republic presidential regime with the responsibility of the Prime Minister to the Parliament. The changes in the society structure were also very important, e.i. the changes of the society structure into two basic classes and social powers - the em­ployers and the wage - earning workers. In the criterion of the relation to property and the range of State interference into the economy - the right wing orientation assumes the gualli- stic Movement for the Benefit of the Republic and the liberal Union of French Democracy. However, the left wing orientation assumes the current of the reformist socialism and the communist movement
