How Nice
(The first time, both mainstream parties of the left and centre-right in France are holding primaries to select their nominees for next year’s presidential election. In the past, French parties tended to agree on candidates behind closed doors, or after a narrow vote among members. Sometimes, unresolved rivalry led candidates from the same political family to run anyway, splitting the vote. This time, a new system is in place. On November 20th and 27th, the centre-right Republicans hold their first election open to any supporter who pays €2 ($2.15) and signs a charter of centre-right values. The Socialist Party follows with its two-round primary on January 22nd and 29th.) http://www.economist.com/blogs/econo...styleprimaries Last edited by arista; 16-11-2016 at 04:28 AM. |
