a bit of course, but it s getting tuff for royal, bove is doing better and better.

if bove takes 2-3% and her still offering 2% per month to Bayrou, we will have an interesting Sarko-Bayrou ;-).

i would not bet on her.

yes, royal lost 8% in little bit more than a month and the trend looks quite linear.

if bove get his 500 signatures (and with his network, it is likely) they will have to start to worry seriously at the socialist party.

Re: Bayrou's Strasbourg Europe speech (none / 1)

I don't think that her Sunday speech will give her more than a temporary marginal boost. It can even have the opposite result. I think that a lot of people have become really afraid of the leftist positions, they have heard that before and it didn't work.
Her proposals - exactly as Mitterand did 1981 - would lead France direct into the wall. Which would mean a complete turnaround to "liberal" policies exactly like Mitterand. A whole generation hasn't forgotten that.
it's probable that Bové will get his 500. The UMP will fix that.
