I read a claim on the Socialist website a while back that Sarkozy secretly supported the Iraq War, because he was rather quiet during it. If that's true, we're dealing with one massive irony.

YES! Can't say I could be happier with the result. This result actually makes me proud to be part French.

This is a great result, let's hope France gets rolling again, France 24 is covered in English on C-SPAN, Royal's "concession" speech is quite an embarassment, they won't be "renewing" anything if they keep this garbage up.

Me as well, although I have to say I still have a negative opinion of France it went from "extremely unfavorable" to "very unfavorable"

Meh. Better Sarkozy than Royal, I suppose. If I lived in France, I would be one of the 15% who didn't vote. Talk about two terrible candidates.

It's already a massive irony - The U.S. had to turn to France for a foreign policy victory.

I still hate the French but I guess I can agree with them/applaud them for something.  Tongue

Lol, 1 red spot in the North - Pas de Calais for Royal.

It would have been nice to slice the map into 2 parts from North-West France to the South-East, with NE for Sarkozy and SW for Royal.

Paris Suburbia seems to be in love with Sarkozy, giving him close to 60%.

Poll out for the Parliamentary Elections next month:

Ifop:

Sarkozy's UMP: 34%
Royal's PS: 29%
Bayrou's UDF: 12%
Le Pen's FN: 7%

No other party polled more than 5 pct in the survey.

Huh? Please tell me who was third way in the second round? You could make a case that Bayrou was a "third way" candidate but Royal really was not "third way" economically.

True. On the whole she was noticably to the right of Blair (except in rhetoric, obviously).

Semi-joking aside, I told you it would have been tactically better to vote for Bayrou in the first round. Even IRV would have probably eliminated him, but he WAS also probably the Condorcet winner.

Well socially she definitely was, some of her plans sounded quite authoritarian to me at least.
