I'd rather avoid discussing about that until that other retard is still in place, however. Tempting the fate is never a good thing.

Hollande will lose because of this thread!

Well, the convention is that new President is appointing his Prime Minister immediately after taking office. Currently presidential and parliamentary elections basically coincide (before it happend, it was usual for President to dissolve parliament after taking office, as Mitterrand did in 1981 and 1988, thus winning a majority for his Prime Ministers; Chirac did not dissolve parliament in 1995, which was a huge mistake, that led to a five-years long cohabitation in 1997).

Until now, voters were always confirming presidential government during parliamentary elections sheluded set after presidential. 

Btw, I understand Chirac's reluctance to dissolve parliament in 1995, since his presidential majority (RPP-UFD and smaller stuff) had 485 seats, compared to 91 left seats (including 53 PS's deputies). Yet it was still a mistake in long term.

I think, as long as parliamentary elections are going to take place shortly after presidentials, we won't see another cohabitation.

Hollande to be sworn in right now.

Watching the N24 livestream.

PS: He already has the nuclear bomb codes.

Does French protocol actually required any oath, or it's just "here: nuclear codes, Legion of Honor, have fun, dude!"

Pingvin is probably mourning right now, it's not Aubry, as for some reason he seems to like her very much.

I feel kind of sorry for Fabius. I mean, the dude is a former Prime Minister for 26 years now.

This asshole should have retired long ago. He's been a thorn in the side of the PS for decades.

Fabius pissed me off big time in 2005.

It is always depressing to see how that arrogant, egotistical and hypocritical idiot has always managed to find a cushy job for him in all cases.

But below his ambitions. He's trying to be Presidents for years and never succeeded Grin

Nobody has mentioned yet that Aubry's drones denied the PS nomination to two hollandist candidates for the legislative election. It seems like Aubry got mightily pissed off (en crisse, I'd say) and threw a huge fit.

How long before PS returns to this?
