| France election 2012: support for François Hollande will crumble, Sarkozy's oracle predicts |
| 2012-03-13 |
| Fascinating prediction of Francois Hollande's electoral demise today by Patrick Buisson, Nicolas Sarkzoy's public opinion eminence grise. Nicknamed "the guru", PBuisson, 62, is the man who advised Sarkozy to woo National Front voters in 2007 on a national identity ticket. His spectacular success in doing so led Sarkozy to declare "This is the man who won me the election" when he handed him the Légion d'Honneur for a job well done. The former head of a far-Right journal also famously predicted the precise percentage of French who would vote "non" in the 2005 referendum on the European constitutional treaty. "If I am wrong, you will never hear of me again," he is said to have told Sarko, who, wowed by his prescience, took him on the next day. |
