The political alliance includes Christian democrats, conservative liberals, social liberals, Third Way social democrats, and green liberals, and describes itself as moderate. Some media consider it as a modern incarnation of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing's Union for French Democracy (UDF), founded in 1978.[3]
