France : general election 2007
France goes to the polls on Sunday next to election a new President.
Jacques Chirac's time in office is "fini". After the last round, there are only two candidates left for election : Segolene Royal of the Socialist Party and Nicholas Sarkozy of Centre/Right party. The two candidates are busy trying to woe supports of defeated centrist candidates knocked out of the race two weeks ago. This election will prove to be a close run affair - as it stands Sarkozy has a lead over Madame Royal but election surveys predict a close race. Personally I would like to see Royal win - that would be a first as she would be the first female French president and her policies seem to be more in line with traditional French viewpoints. Comments?

Re: France : general election 2007
I'm interested to see how this one comes out, whether France wants to go the route offered by Sarkozy (something similar to American "conservatism") or not. I think the people of France would regret it if that's what they were to choose.
