10 It is interesting that when the idea of a broad parti travailliste was raised by the future founders of the MRP, de Gaulle's name was not even mentioned. See L'Aube, 17 Nov. 1944, 22 Nov. 1944.

11 Charlot (pp. 85–6) throws interesting light on this question. Quoting opinion polls of the RPF period, he suggests that the most popular planks in the Gaullist platform were its foreign policy, social policy and anti-communism, while a majority disapproved of ‘la lutte contre les partis’ and ‘la création d'un État fort avec pouvoirs étendus pour le général de Gaulle’.
