Elected Prime Minister
Valéry Giscard d'Estaing UDF | ||||
Parliamentary elections were held in the Kingdom of France on the 11th of July 1985. The elections was the last elections in the pro-German Kingdom of France, with the 1988 Revolution changing France into a Republic.
The election saw a landslide victory for the Union of French Democrats, a party created the year before by Prime Minister Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. Seeking to break the "alliance" between liberals and conservatives in French politics, d'Estaing managed to seek government support from the Christian Democratic Party and the National Center Party.
