Radical left (parliamentary group)

The Radical left is an old French parliamentary group.

A center parliamentary group

The Radical left gathers, under the Third Republic, the deputies resulting from independent mobility radical. One finds there the deputies who did not want to join the Parti radical socialist, or others which left it in the name of the refusal of alliances on the left (with the socialist ), without however formally adhering to the Alliance democratic, the great liberal party and laic of the center-right, where with the one of its multiple parliamentary misadventures.

Described by Andre Siegfried as making up of socially preserving deputies who would like not to break with the left and who thus vote, on the right on the questions of interests, on the left about the political questions , the Radical left, by its center position, is often the referee of the various majorities.

In 1936, Pierre-Etienne Flandin tries to durably anchor the radicals independent in the wake of democratic Alliance by replacing the old parliamentary group of the Républicains of left by a Alliance of the republicans of left and radicals independent . This attempt fails: the group of the Radical left becomes the group of the democratic and radical Gauche independent . The group disappears with IIIe République; the mobility which it represents will find later on within the Radical party independent and of the Rassemblement of the Republican lefts.
