Three-party government

Three-party government , expression indicating the government coalition formed between 1946 and 1947 by the three French political principal parties of post-war period: the French Section of the International worker (socialist party), the French Communist party and the Popular Republican movement.

This coalition rejected into the opposition the radicals, until there impossible to circumvent in any coalition since the turning of the century (except for the period 1919-1924).

This coalition was made possible, in spite of strong ideological oppositions, in particular between the Christian-Democrats of the MRP and the atheistic Communists, by the combat carried out jointly within the framework of resistance.

It is besides with the implementation of the program of the National council of the resistance, jointly elaborate, and to which the preamble to the constitution of 1946 is the most outstanding heritage, that harnessed the Three-party government.

The Three-party government is completed by the reference of the communist ministers by the President of the Council Paul Ramadier, caused by the quasi-insurrectionary situation due to the great strikes carried out by the CGT, main trade union French, whose direction is then completely pledged with the Communist party.
