Sample text

By the middle seventies, both a united left government in France and an 'Historic Compromise' in Italy were real and present possibilities. What had changed from two decades earlier? The changes have been both contextual and intrinsic. During the progress of these two decades, the political context in which Western European Communism has had to operate has changed somewhat. For a start, the fifties and early sixties was a time of considerable East-West (US-Soviet) tension, and of high anti-Communist rhetoric emanating from the highest quartersusually in response to a similarly vibrant anti-capitalist rhetoric from the Kremlin.

In this respect, the Italian Communists possess a political legitimacy within their nation that the PCF cannot match within France. 6% in the first round in March, 1978. 4% of the vote, and at no election has it been 4·95% more or less than this figure. 5%. Unlike the PCI, it is on a very slightly undulating horizontal electoral curve. Consequently, for parliamentary election purposes, it is in need of major alliances. The PCF has a wide geographic base in the sense that the Communist vote is not restricted to the northern industrial areas (it has a rural support, particularly where its membership is high-in the centre of France (Berry and Agenais) and in the Midi).

It is from within this category that the PCF won more votes in 1973 than any other single party. This may help to explain the inordinate interest shown by the PCF in further nationalizations. In 1973, it had 33% of the votes of wage earners in the public sector, compared to 27% in the private sector. It would seem reasonable to believe that the PCF sees the expansion of the public sector as one way out of its present electoral impasse. All in all, French Communism at the polls has been a static phenomenon, devoid of the sense of movement and permeation so much a feature of the Italian variety.
