French Politics refers to the political system, processes, institutions, and dynamics of the French Republic. It encompasses the various political parties, political ideologies, elections, and governance structures that shape the country. France operates under a semi-presidential system, where power is shared between a president and a prime minister, and its political landscape is marked by a multi-party system, with significant parties representing a range of ideologies from socialism to conservatism, as well as centrist and far-right movements.
