a assure you everyone here would like to have an answer to this question. the thing is the choice for the next president won't be easy: the two main candidates each have flaws that are part of their personality. Sarkozy is frightening, in the way he acts, priomising tromendous changes that no one here will accept when they will be effective, France is very conservative towards it's social adventages (health, quality of life, social incomes...) he could be elected by a short majority, but the rest of the population is radically against him. Segolene royal doesn't have enough charisma to handle such a responsability. Furthermore: she does'nt have even the begining of an original idea. She's not a realistic choice. Francois Bayroux, the centrist, has yhe ideas, the experience, but lacks charisma too. He's something like a teddy bear in a room filled with wolves. Communists are Dead. Extreme leftist are too many, and the won't get along. Who's left? Jean Marie Lepen, the extreme right leader, the main danger. He's very good at what he does, he knows when to hide and when he can show his true face. he should gather 15 to 20% of the votes. Hopefully not, but if he does, the second raw of the election will be ass last time, in 2002, a choice between bad and worst. Maybe Chirac will run for a third term. Maybe it's the choice some people will make, prefering not to choose than commiting mistakes that will determine their lives for the next 5 years. we'll see.
thanks for the overview . I have only been hearing about Sarkozy and royal and wanted to hear about others, which you provided.
