French mock presidential election, 2007 - 2nd round

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Well, Bayrou. Unlike what I did in the real life, because I gave my vote to ...Royal at 2nd turn. Damn. Yeah, sorry, I couldn't bear moral values of Sarkozy.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Bayrou was certainly the best of all three.

I hell agree. That said, I think he turns a bit ridiculous by now...

What do you mean, what has he done?
I voted Bayrou though I understand Royal not as left wing as some other Socialist politicians (Aubry?).

In fact, she is nowhere.

Yeah!

That's the point!

Our political leaders are nowhere but on what is the more aired in the media.

Bayrou turns a bit ridiculous because he tends to shut himself in an anti-sarkozy line. The same for Royal, plus the fact that she isn't afraid at all to be ridiculous, she jumps on everything that could make polemic against Sarkozy. I think she's just burning herself. Bayrou succeeds in keeping more dignity and stays more interesting than her.

Aubry? Well, she...euh...I heard she leads a political party...named...euh...ah yes! PS!

I voted in Castres, Tarn, for municipals. I very doubt you projected to that one...

I can vote in the category "average cities" if you want.

It enough well reflected the presidential in a way, a divided left, a strong independant center, who finally turned kinda independant NC, a kind of local Bayrou, he's now deputy, Phillipe Folliot, and in the end, it is the UMP (a kind of local Sarkozy, Pascal Bugis) who won.

But, no, there might be more important stuffs, it's an only 40,000 inhabitants city, and not a lot of stakes.

Do what you planed to do.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Bugis is the guy who Folliot defeated in 2002.

For the deputation yes.

Folliot was actually a Villierist/Pasquaist (he was one of the two MPs elected with the RPF etiquette, the other was in the Hauts-de-Seine). He won based on rural votes, and Bugis won Castres proper.

Yes, yes, most of people know that I think here, at least I already heard people speaking about that, but actually he really turned in a local Bayrou, even if officially NC, I followed his campaign and i still receive a newsletter from his deputation. The fact he was elected on rural votes doesn't surprise me at all, he likes giving an image of "terroir" (for translation euh...could be "country" maybe), a kind like Bayrou does, and they are are the same on most issues and in the personality too.

Damn, you've all the results in mind or?

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Bugis is the guy who Folliot defeated in 2002.

For the deputation yes.

Bugis was Jacques Limouzy's dauphin, if you want. Limouzy was the strongman of the Gaullist right for a long time in the Tarn/Castres.

Yes, yes, I'm not from this region but I live here for 10 years now, and Limouzy is the famous political guy here, I haven't followed 2002 deputation. Limouzy, even if very old, is still in the game by managing the "communauté d'agglomération" (a French system of collectivity of municipalities) of Castres-Mazamet, but Bugis is an actual small tiger, really a kind of local Sarkozy, maybe in more sincere.

Damn, you've all the results in mind or?

Yes

Damn, if that's not a compulsive sickness (the one never know! pay attention! ), then Congrats!
