Miscellaneous left (, DVG) is a defined political nuance in France which refers to left-wing candidates who are not members of any political party or a member of party that has no elected seats. They include either small left-wing parties or dissidents expelled from their parties for running against their party's candidate. Numerous candidates are elected at a local level, and a smaller number at the national level.
