The French ecologist movement has been an active political force at each election for some years, but because it refuses to accept certain political ground rules, this « new social movement » is resistant to the usual procedures of political analysis. The ecologist movement daims not to belong to traditional political classifications and, similarly, not to represent specifie social interests. To what extent are these characteristics confirmed by analysis of the ecologist electorale in the 1978 parliamentary election ? Despite its stated political neutrality, can certain signs of belonging to right or left-wing political groupings be detected in this electorale ? On what political or cultural attitudes is the originality of this population based ? Lastly, with what social, economie or cultural affinities are the features thath define the ecologist voter linked ?
