If I was to vote in the French elections, if Hollande was safely up in the polls (which he is now), I would strongly consider voting for Mélenchon in the first round.

They're all awful. But Joly just because it's cool with a Norwegian running for French president.

I actually quite like Joly. It's really a shame she's such a pathetic excuse of a campaigner.

Well, I'll do mine. I also added the 4 withdrawn candidates.

1 - Hollande
2 - Joly
3 - Lepage
4 - Mélenchon
(Chevènement - withdrawn)
5 - Bayrou
(Morin - withdrawn)

This is the limit of candidates I consider "acceptable". All the following are absolutely awful in my book and I would never want to vote for any.

6 - Dupont-Aignan
7 - Villepin
8 - Poutou
9 - Arthaud
(Nihous - withdrawn)
(Boutin - withdrawn)
9657 - Sarkozy
1099 - Le Pen

Hollande, though without much in the way of enthusiasm.

Hollande for me.  A good vote in the first round should give him a bit of momentum for the run-off.

If Bayrou have conditions to get into run-off by election day, I would go with him. He's very likeable and I don't like personally Hollande (I'm a Royaliste - he had to destroy Royal from inside in 2007 to be nominee). In a AV election, Chevenement would be my first choice, as left-wing nationalist.
With current candidates:
1- Mélenchon
2- Arthaud
3- Poutou
4- Dupont-Aignan
5- Bayrou
6- Le Pen
7- Le Page
8- Villepin
9- Hollande
10- Joly
11- Sarkozy

Both Civic Nationalism and participative public management appeals heavily to the Brazilian Left. But I think Rod is failing to realize Royal is quite nearer to Blair than Hollande. For what I've read from him, this shouldn't be too much appealing.

Royal isn't really "nearer to Blair", because, well, she's nowhere in the politcal spectrum. She doesn't hold a single consistent view, and her rhetoric is a weird mix of inconsistent populism coupled with a few platitudes and the demeanor of a sect leader.

So, quite like late period Blair then.

People actually think Royal supports participative democracy or whatever that bullsh**t idea is called? She runs her region like her personal fiefdom and has shown that she doesn't give a sh**t about her allies. Royal is just a Palin-like populist whose only main difference from Palin is that she's less mentally unstable and slightly more intelligent (but only to a limited extent). Her fans, by and large, are also mentally unstable and of limited intelligence.

Didn't = the ' is for where the letter's missing (not the space). Smiley

I know, once I'm not depending on media to get information from France. But this is not how the local press presented her in 2007 (and TV5 also did It, to some extent) so you gotta figure how people perceives her out of France, not how she really is.
