UFR SEES LIKELY REVISIONS IN GOVERNING COALITION
 
L’EXAMINATEUR HERAUT
 
Ministry of Labor, Trade and Industry, August 23, 5733: L’Examinateur Heraut asked Minister of Labor, Trade and Industry Jean-Claude Beauvoisin if the current governing coalition is likely to continue after the next election, and Beauvoisin replied:
 

Quite frankly, it is highly unlikely  because the apparent support as indicated by polling  indicates support for each party ebbs and flows with considerable fluctuation.  It is not possible to accurately predict the composition of the National Assembly a year from now.
 
If I understand how the Constitution is developing, the President will select a prospective Premier to try and form a governing coalition with a majority.
 
If the current government has a majority, the President may well turn to the current Premier to form a government.  Similarly, if an Alliance appears to have a majority, the President might well turn toward its leader.
 
And the President could well just have the head of the largest party have first crack at it.

Asked  by L’Examinateur Heraut if his party, Union Federal Radicale (UFR), expected to be in the next government, Beauvoisin replied:
 

Much too early to make a prediction.  Will say UFR feels it has as good a chance as any and is optimistic.
