It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the writer of this FT article got the idea of French financial and technology experts leaving France in the event of a win by Ségolène Royal from this much-linked interview of French blogger and Sarkozy "Internet advisor" Loïc Le Meur on France2 on 12 February 2007, in which Le Meur declares at the end:

FR2: Et que ferez-vous si votre candidat est battu ?

LLM: Je suis très optimiste. Mais si la gauche l'emporte, je m'installerai à San Francisco. C'est là où les choses se passent, là où l'on créé.[sic]

Nothing shown statistically but just "a feeling" that's picked up by a certain agenda-driven media and then repeated over and over as if a fact. (Hmm, where have we seen this before?)

Le Meur hasn't heard of Nuxeo, has he?

He'd prefer the People's Republic of Nancy Pelosi and Newsom Gavin to a France (mis)ruled by Royal!
