Talking about cute politicians... Here in Spain, we have Maria Gonzalez Veracruz (PSOE)



,

Carme Chacón (PSOE- a bit too old, if you ask me)



and, definitely, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo (PP), who has been disappeared (politically speaking) since 2008:



That's my essential contribution to this thread, LoL.

Oh, and what a First Lady France has... What a jerk1! She'd better had shut up, now PS will have to demonstrate they're united against the right (which is false).

How is Yonne 1re considered slightly Gauche?? I hope you're right, but the UMP+FN are 10 points over FG+PS. I know that FG voters are more likely to vote for PS than FN are to UMP (and there will be more FN people voting for PS than FG ones for UMP). However, a 10-point advantage for the right is just too much, don't you think?

How many times do we need to say that adding UMP and FN votes is a stupid idea? There right doesn't have a "10 point advantage" or whatever here unless you're a braindead journalist.

55-60% of FN voters here will vote UMP, 90-98% of FG voters will vote PS (plus the Green and some far-left voters). On these numbers, the left has a (small) edge, without even counting any FN transfers to the left. Notice the gap?

I think I said that it's not accurate to add FN to UMP votes... In fact, what I said was that FG voters are more likely and vote more for the PS than FN do for the UMP. But, Yonne 1st is a right wing place, so I don't think PS has the edge there. Let's wait until Sunday. You know more about French politics than me. You may be right.

So, please, next time, don't call my ideas 'stupid'. It's unnecessary.

Ok, people, I don't know 1/1000 of what you know about French politics... But Hash, you didn't need to be rude (I think you were, sorry). I felt like an idiot.

And OK, I'm actually glad that you three consider Yonne 1st a leaning PS seat Sorry if I am too ignorant, but I believed that Yonne, being a conservative place, would not elect a socialist.

Oh, I won't come here to say I was right and I know more than you if finnally UMP carries Yonne-1st "a la krazen", so don't worry hahaha... I hope I was wrong with that prediction and PS can take places where the majority of people chose the right last Sunday and where Sarko won last month.

I was right about Yonne 1st
