French UMP leadership election, 2012

I'll say one thing, this would make a cracking arthouse film in a few years time.

What are the chances of UMP being split, and new parties being formed?

And just for fun, what would you call them

[doktorb]

Very little actual chances, because of the public funding of parties' rules.

Anyway, if there was, I would call them RPR and UDF...

Aaaah, you can tell that I'm from a country without public funding of parties

I wish this was getting more attention over here, it's much funnier/tragic than most British stories, and we've had a local council taking adopted children away from their foster parents on grounds of political party membership.....
