Describe a Jospin 1995/Chirac 2002/Sarkozy 2007/Sarkozy 2012/Macron 2017 voter

[Kingpoleon]

Also describe their first round picks from 1995-2017.

[RodPresident]

Max Gallo

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Someone who, after 1995, decided to "only back winners", and who took Keystone Phil seriously on the shy Sarkozy effect in 2012.

[Famous Mortimer]

An investment banker who is personal friends with Lionel Jospin.

[mgop]

always voting for government, so probably a civil servant

[Hydera]

Middle class Parisian white collar who was a university student during 1995 and gradually became more conservative on economic issues over time and voted for the centre-right but was disgusted by the Fillon scandals and voted for Macron because he was fresh and centrist.

[Kamala]

An investment banker who is personal friends with Lionel Jospin.

[Zuza]

If all of these are second round choices then it just could be a left-winger or a centrist with a strange personal sympathy for Sarkozy. Because Chirac 2002 and Macron 2017 were the only choices for such a person (besides staying home). In 1997, 2002 and 2017 in the first round he/she could pick any leftist or centrist candidate.

Or, alternatively, mainstream (e. g. non-FN) right-wing voter with a personal sympathy for Jospin, or, as per above, who was a PS supporter in 1995.

[mencken]

I imagine their first round votes were something like this?

1995: Balladur
2002: Bayrou
2007: Sarkozy or Bayrou
2012: Sarkozy
2017: Macron

[Sumner 1868]

One of those terrible Third Way types.

One of those terrible Third Way types.

Normal ThirdWayer would vote Royal and Hollande over Sarkozy...
