Nice rime, no ?

Yep ! It reminds me of the Guignols in 1994, when Rocard was in the mess of preparing European elections and the PS list: "un Huchon, un Mélenchon, un Huchon, un Mélenchon"...

Your vote surprises me: Hamon over Peillon ?
Peillon is quite clever and more on the left than Royal or Hollande (or DSK).

I don't like Hamon so much. My vote was mostly for Rocard than for him (even the "leftist" "1969-style" Rocard).

2 for Hamon.

Nice electoral system.

Try to have someone able to vote to break our tie ?

We have.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Benoît Hamon disappointed many of his voters by not reforming the Constitution and becoming a rather classic centralist and powerful president.

However, he kept some of his former habits, especially the one of driving his own motorbike. During one of his rides, he had an accident and died from his injuries at the hospital of La Pitié-Salpêtrière, where he was hastily brought.

After a short interim of Gérard LARCHER, Senate's president, a new election had to be organized.
The PS first secretary, who has more and more contested the President, Martine Aubry is candidate.
The PCF, heavily divided on the President's actions and towards the PS, is unable to put forward one candidate and prefers to stick to Aubry.

On the right, after Gérard Larcher says he wishes to remain in the Senate, a far safer position, the UDF picks Jean-Louis Borloo, a reformist with a quite modern image, while the RPR picks Michel Barnier, from the social and environmental wing of the party.

Great story. You have a lot of imagination.

Just to stick to reality, sort of...

Indeed, that's not easy.
