Renaissance
Macronism · 2016– · France · Liberal Centrist · Electoral party · coding confidence medium
Each axis runs from −10 to +10, with zero a genuine mixed or balanced position rather than an absence of opinion. A score describes a stated position and a governing record; it is not a judgement of merit. What each score means →
Core principles
Technocratic reform of the state and labour market, pro-European integration, neither left nor right by design.
Economic model
Pension age rise, labour market flexibility, corporate tax reduction, large industrial subsidy programmes.
Organisation of powers
Strong presidential executive; repeated use of constitutional provisions to pass legislation without a vote.
Reading note
Its authority score is unusually high for a liberal party and reflects the Fifth Republic's executive design as much as the party's own preferences.
