What would be the 2nd turn if French presidential elections were held now?

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

I note that this board is until now almost monopolized by French threads, here's one more:

If French presidential elections were held now, what would be the 2nd turn?

For now, I would say:

Bayrou vs. Besancenot

You?

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

1st round :

Sarkozy : 26%
Bayrou : 23%
Royal : 22%
Besancenot : 11%
Le Pen : 6%
Laguiller : 3%
Voynet : 3%
Villiers : 2%
Buffet : 2%
Nihous : 1%
Bové : 1%
Schivardi : 0%


2nd round :

Bayrou : 54%
Sarkozy : 46%

You make it with names of 2007, but in my question, it's fully free, you can pick anyone you want through those you think that they could be at a 2nd turn if the election were held now.

I nominate the ghost of Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte

Well, in a sens could be a not so bad choice, he would develop trains! What would be fine for ecology. But, well, even his ghost could have an heart attack seeing our world.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

I have to ask, what is the state of French politics right now? I haven't paid any attention to France since 2007.

Hmm, to sum up? It could sum up. Ad to this that the PS doesn't stop his fall.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

I didn't think about Strauss-Kahn, that's a possibility.

But, if ever we can avoid Besancenot at 2nd turn, I really don't see Sarkozy able to reach it. He got the French people once with its 2007 campaign, now, France knows the guy, his comedy no more works.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

I think Strauss-Khan would be the PS candidate, and his competence makes him able to beat Sarko.

I agree with this. I hadn't thought to Strauss-Kahn when I opened this thread but that is the PS only chance to be reach second turn.

So, if ever we avoid Besancenot at 2 turn, to me that would be a Bayrou-Stauss Kahn, Bayrou winning.

Yes, I maintain that in a run with Bayrou and Strauss-Kahn or even with others, Sarkozy wouldn't have the slightest chance to be at a 2 turn. Hell, on what he would do his campaign?? All what he promoted has fell down with the economical crisis, plus, he clearly shew he wasn't the guy he pretended to be, his comedy could just no more work anymore, he could move his arms the fastest he can, it would just no more work.

For Besancenot, today, the things may not be enough bad for that he can reach the 2nd turn, but as I always said, if the economy really crashes down, if he really wants to make win his ideas, if he doesn't fear the power, so, don't be surprised to see him ahead one day.
