oh i’m aware about the first thing, it’s just that i use mapchart and they don’t have pre-2015 ones and honestly i’m fine with this
as for the second thing this is actually not the republicans, but it’s actually the rally, which is what seguin wanted to rename the RPR in the late 90s. as chirac loses and seguin gains the party’s leadership he’s able to get the name change he wants
Convergent acronym, interesting! I wasn't aware of that.
