French Presidential Election Thread: Where's Buu when we need him?

Angus Reid Global Monitor : Polls & Research
Sarkozy First, Royal Likely Rival in France
March 29, 2007

(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Nicolas Sarkozy remains the most popular contender in the French presidential race, according to a tracking poll by Ipsos released by SFR and Le Point. 30.5 per cent of respondents would vote for the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) candidate in next month’s ballot.

Ségolène Royal of the Socialist Party (PS) is second with 25 per cent, followed by Union for French Democracy (UDF) leader François Bayrou with 18.5 per cent, and Jean-Marie Le Pen of the National Front (FN) with 13 per cent.

Support is lower for Revolutionary Communist League (LCR) member Olivier Besancenot, Marie-George Buffet of the French Communist Party (PCF), Arlette Laguiller of Workers’ Struggle (LO), farmer-activist José Bové, Movement for France (MPF) leader Philippe de Villiers, Frédéric Nihous of Hunting, Fishing, Nature, Traditions (CPNT), Dominique Voynet of the Greens (Verts), and Gérard Schivardi of the Worker’s Party (PT).

Sarkozy served as France’s interior minister. Royal is the leader of the regional government of Poitou-Charentes. In a prospective run-off scenario, Sarkozy holds a six-point advantage over Royal. In addition, Bayrou leads Sarkozy by four points.

On Mar. 27, a police officer arrested an illegal immigrant at Paris’ Gare du Nord station, after he allegedly refused to show his ticket. The officers claim the 33-year-old man "attacked staff", while witnesses declared he was "manhandled."

Sarkozy justified the reaction of the police, which included the use of tear gas to disperse a crowd, saying, "I want to tell the French that I will not be on the side of fraudsters, cheats, dishonest people—those who think that in order to get heard, they must demolish a train station and break public equipment paid for by taxpayers."

Royal criticized Sarkozy’s record, saying, "In five years with a rightist government that has made security its main campaign issue, you can see that it’s failure all down the line."

The UMP’s Jacques Chirac won the presidential ballot in 1995, and was re-elected in a run-off over Le Pen in May 2002. The next election is scheduled for Apr. 22. If no candidate garners more than 50 per cent of all cast ballots, a run-off would take place on May 6.

What's the general mood about the elections over there, Buu? Who's your choice?

I'm cheering for the most liberal candidate. Whoever he is. **** the conservatives. They already have America and America Jr. I also hope the farmer activist dude loses. I hate those guys.
