Sarkozy 26.6 Conservative

There is a 2nd round of votes to come in 2 weeks.


Hollande was rushed in as Straus Khan was in a mess in
NYC.
He speaks No English.



No One thought Le Pen would get so many.


Hollande is Expected to win this 1st Round.

surely more far-right members would be likely to join the conservatives than the socialists? Unless they're voting out of anger for the current government.

Sad that so much power lies with a faction like that... in terms of their immigration policy, at least. Although their anti-EU stance may possibly shake a stick at this idea that France and Germany rule the joint.
