סיכום:The article analyses the ambiguous role played by the prime minister as “majority leader” under the Fifth Republic, a title that is often referred to but is not mentioned in the Constitution. Although this role is frequently attributed to him in political speeches, its recognition depends on the political balance of forces, on the political capital of the prime minister and on his ability to mobilise his majority.
