Ducas and the French Revolution - A Brief History

35 of 55 opened seats went to unabashed liberals, including the abbe gregoire. Gregoar's presence in the chamber was an affront and marked the end of the move to the left as things now swung back around to the right. Ducas himself took his centre principles, made them firmly centre principles, and then, when he started running into trouble with his left wing, started making them center right principles. He wanted new allies to inoculate the government from radical liberalism and the potential return of neo jacobism.
