'Worrying signsÂ’ for FranceÂ’s presidential poll
2006-02-06
mostly about french politics, but this lede is the key point IMO:
French voters are lurching towards the political extremes ahead of next year’s presidential elections out of frustration with the government and the system it embodies, according to François Bayrou, head of the centrist UDF party. Mr Bayrou, the UDF’s presidential candidate, warned the 2007 elections risked repeating the humiliation of 2002, when far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen shocked the world by coming second in the opening round of the presidential ballot.

#1  ChiracÂ’s polls are in the freaking sewer way past the toilet think around 14%.

As well they should be this is the same guy that sat back talking about more welfare better gov houses while “Muslim youth” burnt Parris the capitol for weeks on end. And still to this day control no go zones were the French police couldn’t go.

Recently he has been trying to talk tuff with his BS we will nuke any terrorist crap, donÂ’t be fooled he has looked around seen his boy Schroeder pick up his pink slip and the Canadian pres pickup his while Bush, Howard and Blair have all been reelected in strong positions. ThatÂ’s says something for who was right ant who was wrong.
