The relationship between French President and Prime Minister is the focus of study for many students of political science. This is largely due to the dual-executive nature of the constitution since 1958. Being the first Prime Minister of the Fifth Republic, Michel Debréwas said to be more Gaullist than de Gaulle. It did not prevent him from being forced to step down in 1962. Pierre Servent utilizes the idea of Oedipus complex to discribe the relationship between French President and Prime Minister. A popular Prime Minister is inclined to have presidential ambition. His or her relationship with the President is often full of conflicts. Win or lose, both sides get hurts. The opposition party benefits from the result of fratricide. The change of government in 1981 is a typical example. This article tries to testify the hypothesis of Servent. From 1968 to 1976, the right wing government witnessed three consecutive conflicts between the President and Prime Minister. In 1981, the first Socialist President, François Mitterand got elected. The author tries to analyze internal divisions of the conservative camp and their influence on the change of government. |
