Abstract

[fre] Les élections municipales sont un bon champ d'expérience pour étudier le comportement électoral des " ruraux ". Il est, en effet, facile d'isoler les petites communes, de moins de 3 500 habitants, pour lesquelles le mode de scrutin n'est pas le même que pour les grandes localités. Elles représentent 40 % des inscrits et 45 % des votants. C'est dire que les ruraux sont plus "participationnistes" que les urbains. Lors des précédentes consultations, en 1983 et 1989, la proportion des listes dites "autres" recueillaient environ 20 % des suffrages. Cette proportion a considérablement diminué en 1995. Contrairement à ce qu'espérait le ministre de l'Intérieur de l'époque, la proximité de l'élection présidentielle n'a pas été tellement favorable à l'actuelle majorité, mais elle a entraîné une certaine "politisation" des candidatures dans les petites communes. En 1995, on se place plus délibérément à "droite" ou à "gauche", les forces secondaires ne rencontrant toujours guère de faveur. [eng] Rural dwellers 'behaviour for the local elections of june 1995 . Local elections are a good field of research to study rural dwellers ' behaviour. Small cities, less than 3 500 inhabitants, may be isolated. The poll is not the same than for great towns. They represent 40 % of the electors and 45 % of the voters. For the previous elections, in 1983 and 1989, the lists baptized "others" were chosen by about 20 % of the voters. They dropped to less than 1 %. In 1995, the Home Secretary hoped the proximity of the presidential election would favour the current majority. In fact, it has only "politized" the attitude of the candidates. "Right" and "Left" are more important, secondary forces do not meet with success.
