France will be interesting. Will the MoDem and PSLE run seperate or together? Can the PCF and FN hold on to their seats after the 2007 humiliation(s)?
1) separate
2) probably for FN. Last ifop poll showed a (first) disaffection of sarkozy amongst Fn voters, compensed by more favorable views amongst left voters. For now.
But next (2008), it's local elections and a close look on henin beaumont which could play the same role than Dreux in early 80's. briois will first and marine second (she did 45% on the city at the second turn of the legislative).
Paris will be interessant, Lyon, Toulouse, Lille also. And of courses wave of not.
Although Marine Le Pen didn't win in any commune come the second round of voting in Henin-Beaumont (she did win Henin-Beaumont commune round one). Who is the FN candidate there anyways?
Seperate? Could be, although NC-PSLE was formed to participate in the majority, not because they hated Bayrou's guts (although they kind of must now).
