Factual and cheery as always, eh? Want to make a bet?

Re: For the record - I stand by my prognosis (none / 0)

sorry but i cannot be really factual, it is just based of chat i had yesterday with a group a friends at home who are usually leftist (teachers and "cultural" workers) and are not planning to vote Royal but Bayrou.

i was a bit surprised, it is of course only few of my friends but they are usually so predictable that i "think" i can guess a trend here.

It is just a bet but i dont think we are the only ones that cannot stand Royal voice ;-)

I am not surprised. But I think misogyny is prevalent in the European left - at least in my experience.
