Can you explain the relevance for us? Haven't been following this closely.

The relevance? Copé is a disgusting asshole and he wants the job so much that he's ready to do anything to avoid a fair vote, including causing his own party to explode. Now the question is whether Fillon and the other UMPers who aren't soulless careerists will have the balls to break with Copé's thugs and start a new party.

Sorry, should've been more clear: I meant in the photo posted. I don't understand who is circled and why. I understand the rest, or at least understand the basics you helpfully described. 

Oh, sorry.

The guys circled are the president and a member of the intra-party commission in charge of certifying the election results. The picture was presumably taken at a Copé rally.

In 9 months? Fillon must be an idiot to accept this.

Please, please, please tell me Copé didn't ultimately manage to screw him. Sad Sad Sad

They're still negotiating over who leads the party for now... and I assume that the anger over what happened translates to a Fillon victory.

Not sure, and I think he doesn't even want to run again. All he wants is making sure Copé doesn't get away with his dirty tricks. Hopefully some consensus candidate can defeat Copé in 2013, but by that time, the old bonapartist spirit of the French right will probably have prevailed... Sad

Somebody read my big post or something?! Tongue

I haven't actually. Sad Been so damn busy these past few days, and now still mostly unable to do anything worthwhile due to sleep irregularities... Give me a few days to recover. Wink
