France - Evolution or Revolution?
Presented by John Eidinow
The French go to the polls on 12 March in an election which could change or even destroy the Fifth Republic. Whether the result is a coalition of the Left or of the Right or even minority government by one party. President Giscard d'Estaing faces an uncomfortable period of office. What are France's underlying political problems? Is the French Constitution strong enough to withstand the strains? What are the economic and social issues surrounding the election campaign?
