Default French President

Unsurprisingly, The Economist is backing Sarko.

*shakes head* no fucking way, over my dead body.

Result of elections in a couple days. I'm voting by proxy.

I voted for Bayrou in the 1st round. Too bad he didn't make it in the 2nd.

My view is that Sarko is going to win by a small margin. Neither he nor Ségo appeals to me so I think I'll vote blank... Usually I'm more of a right-winger but I can't see Sarko even in a picture. Hate his mug, hate his guts, he's a fascist & I won't even begin to enumerate my reasons to be scared of him as our future dictator. As for Ségo, she's downright daft.

Excuse me if I go a little off topic, but Maria, do you know a French band/artist called TheSokos? They are becoming something of a fad over here. They have a myspace:

So far, I was thankfully spared their painful acquaintance. Crossing fingers for it to remain this way. *laughs* but then I'm no frenchband buff.

Actually Bayrou has the same kinf of idea in politics as Sarkozy even if it's a little more soft. But Bayrou is not a liar, respect everybody, has a good moral, is a nice guy. Ségolène for me has not bad ideas except in certain points and has a good moral too. If you don't want Sarko, vote for Ségo ^^

Ségo has zero clue what economics is about. When asked how she's going to finance her projected hike in minimum wages (ie ratcheting it up to €1,500) she said that the rise in consumption would drive the growth rate.

She was being serious, too. *buries head in hands* I'm not an ecohawk, but honestly... porte-na-wak.

Bayrou differs largely from Sarko on ever so many points. Bayrou's goal is economic measures for a social objective. Sarko's points are:

- concentrating a maximum power in his hands: those of a president, obviously, but also the prime minister's job. Under the V Republic we all know that in case of a cohabitation (PM of a different political stripe from that of the Prez) the PM wields more sway than the Prez. If both PM & Prez are of the same political persuasion the Prez has more power. Sarko, on the other hand, would want to wield autocratic power in both external & internal affairs. He's in an alliance with the media clique, the journalists, etc. This is fair scary.

- eugenics *pukes*

- lying. He's a demagogue, in other terms, a cheat, a crook & a scumsac. One instance, only one will suffice. He says he's opposed to Turkey's entry in Europe. Opinions aside, he at least has a stance on the subject. Or has he? As far as institutional voting for Europe goes, he says he wouldn't defer to the opinions & judgements of the French people. He said he would NOT hold a referendum on the subject. Now, we're all agreed that if we have no say on the subject of Europe's constitution, it goes without saying that we're screwed on the matter of Turkey. It goes out of our remit entirely, out of Sarko's remit, too. It's a matter of decision for Europe as a whole. Once more, we'd be les dindons de la farce. Pardon my French.

- too many other murky issues to discuss
